The dark forest, Kishi's training ground

"I cant belive i messed up such a easy jutsu, lets try it again" This time Kishi knew how to spread the hair out before doing it with a simple hand seal adjustment. He performed the variation and the hair came down and wrapped his body in a strong layer of metal like hair that was quiet comfortable to wear. He then ran with it on and made sure none of his physical abilites were weakened by it. "good...now for the next techniques"

Kishi smiled and then attempted to change his hair into several shuriken, kunai, and semboms at once, while flinging them off of his hair towards the tree's in the area. He had to use his hair missle jutsu along with the shape changing ability so it required more chakra but in conjunction he could send out a large ammount of these weapons at once while keeping some ready at all times and that would work better than the missles. Say he adjusted it into becoming like a web or something to trap them. "ok that was easy but time for something harder" He smiled and stodd up where he went threw the hand seals again and three spears were created, he shot them forward and then landed in target. Then he used the hair regrowth jutsu to refill his balding head. "sword time" He changed his hair into the shape of a katana and used it against the tree and made several cuts. Not only was it hard but sharp just as the Outlaw would need it.

"um...I think i'll rest a bit now" He yawned and sat down to wait for his energy to refil but he was hoping everwill would come along soon.

Saaki

Gentai had been wandering the forest, looking for a good place to train. He'd come from the coast several days ago, heading here to train, because he just wanted to get from his former country for a little while.
He had rested for a little while, to eat, and also since he had been walking for a half-day, and now he was up again. He actually had half of a trout wrapped in leaves and a small strip of wire keeping it in them, attached to his belt, along with a small gourd full of cold freshwater, right next to it, which he had taken from the stream near the ocean, before he had left.
The male shinobi was eager to get started, so he decided to search for thirty more minutes before he just stayed where he was. It's not like the jutsu he had in mind needed a special place anyway. He just wanted to train, so he would settle for anywhere if this dragged on too long.
But then he happened to enter the area where Kishi was. He was a silent guy, cautious of shinobi looking for him, or simply wanting to kill him, so the other male probably hadn't heard him.
But that didn't matter anyway, seeing as he had stepped from the trees only a few feet from him, right where he could see him.
He stood for a second, surveying the ninja's appearance, pale green eyes looking luminous in the light, then nodded corteously to the other rogue ninja.
"Hello," he said politely. "What are you doing sitting there?"
It was a simple question, no rudeness intended or in his tone, and he took a small step forward, hands empty, gaze slightly curious and questioning. One could ask the same of him, but he would get to that if the other person asked, and if he even replied; he most likely would, because otherwise it would be rude.

airknight12

Kishi saw a figure come into his perifial vision. He turned towards the boy and smiled. His hair like armour was covering him so if he was attacked it would not be of any use to the boy. "The same question could be asked of yourself." He looked up at the fore head then at the arms and other places that head bands were often worn by Shinobi. Then he moved his hand into the postion of kai and saw no change in the persons appearance. Convinced it wasnt a bunshin or genjutsu he would now reply. "I'm out here training, for something of a later date....May I ask what you are doing in my Forest? That may sound arrogant but no one comes here exsept for me."

Saaki

Gentai smiled slightly, not having really expected the boy to repeat back is thoughts.
He only looked at him strangely when he made the kai hand position, then remembered what that was and realized what the other male was trying to see.
"I can understand why," he replied, looking around briefly. "But I'm here for exacctly the same reason. Training."
He chuckled a little.

airknight12

"is that so...training for what, you dont have a head band so you cant be a ninja?" Kishi smiled agian knowing that he didnt have his head band on either because it was a outlaw for the most part and gained less attention by not wearing it than just having his cloak around his body like he did at the moment. Kishi didnt get to just talk with someone often as he was normally trianing or when he ran into someone it was a enemy, target, or members of SR who he did not know very well.

The Crimson Raven

A pair of lips parted in the dark. Stained green in the shadow of the trees; flicks of red dripped down the branches below the hunched over figure; perching itself to watch the two ninja as they spoke. Sniffing the air; one was more powerful, but tired. The other young, much weaker. Easy prey. A long tongue ran over the lips, blocking the teeth that knitted together in such a wicked smile. Getting up, stalking a few meters; not a sound was made but those heard in the forest. It was almost painful to be this close and not lash out. Salivating, it watched the two.

Saaki

Gentai wasn't that stupid. He decided not to reply directly to the question.
A shiver came over his body, a cold chill settling into his heart and he looked behind him, at the ground and up into the trees.
He turned around and stepped back a little, towards Kishi, fear of the unknown trying to weigh him down and blur his senses.
He sniffed the air and looked at where the source of the smell was coming from, but saw nothing. The person was very close, and a powerful rogue. Male.
His body was tense, but he forced himself to relax slightly so he could react quicker if the missing-nin jumped out at them.

airknight12

Kishi watched the boy tense up. He wouldnt have known anyone was around if he hadnt done that. Renima sniffed the air and listneed, while looking for anything diffrent. He spotted it but kept looking around for others. "Hey Drooling bastard child youc an come down and play if you want...tree's are boring by yourself"

The Crimson Raven

The remark did nothing to stir the figure from his perch. What was interesting was how the boy sensed him first. The creature dropped onto the ground silently, darting around the clearing the other two sat and staying back to obverse his prey. Stopping in a thicket, his tooth filled mouth opened for a long trail of saliva to leak itself out. The area soon became saturated in something strange, a smell not there before. It covered everything like a heavy fog in early mornings; and for the small ninja, it blocked out all smells save one: sharp, metallic. The sent of deep, fresh blood.

Saaki

Gentai watched the invisible figure move, then slowly began to not tell where he was as a familiar smell began to invade his nose.
His body spasmed for a second at the memories blood brought back, then he closed his eyes as he plugged up his nostrils, stepping back again.
Fear settled into his heart, but he did he kept it from making him cover his face and curl into a ball on the ground. He kept his eyes as fearless as he could, but he could do nothing about his breathing; fast, ragged, sharp.
This thing obviously thought of them, mostly him, as prey, and he needed to keep from becoming panicked or too scared.
He tried to look for the enemy.

airknight12

"Child....stay calm and enjoy this. Dont think of your hunter as a enemy, think of it as a challenge or a game. Sure your life is on the line, but have fun as your doing it." The smoke came aroudn him and Kishi started to get a crazed look on his face. The fumes of blood being breathed through his lungs reminded him of the many people he had killed recently, exsept this time there were fewer people in the area making hte fresh blood smell seem so much more enticing. "Fine beast I will play...." He smiled and performed hair growth no jutsu, and then hair vines. The hair grew down his back and surronded him almost completly. Then two hair vines appeared and were ready for use. Then he knelt down on all fours like a lion about to pounce on its prey.

Saaki

He was just too young for that. He had smelled blood, and it had been a horrible experience coinciding with it when he had, so even if he couldn't smell it anymore, it still stuck with him.
He did try to calm down, do exactly as the other ninja said, but it didn't work for him.
Gentai watched as the hair grew and the man crouched down, and he slipped a kunai and shuriken into his right hand and bent his knees himself, scanning the area, composing himself quickly.
Now that his life was in danger (this was a powerful enemy), he became more focused than he would normally be. Less distractable, along with a little less clumsy, but unfortunately his sight didn't improve just because he might die.
He couldn't use wire here...well, maybe he could, but he wasn't that fast, so he couldn't see how he could set it up without the other shinobi noticing.
The teenager glanced over at Kishi, then put his kunai and shuriken back and grabbed one of his daggers and put it in his right hand, slipping thirty feet of wire into his left.
He gripped his tanto in his teeth and leapt into a nearby tree, quickly laying small traps acrosss branches, along with several large, invisible, vertical ones, attaching hidden kunai to them, along with a few smoke bombs that one kunai in each trap would hit, causing the enemy to be distracted as a few other kunai came at him.

After only a minute of which he had laid traps all around them, he leapt back down and held his tanto in his hand. He had used all thirty feet of his wire, but still had plenty left.
Not that he would use it.
He also had 15 kunai and 35 shuriken left. One Tanto, which he had out, 165 feet of wire, 14 smoke bombs, and three senbon. Along with his henge, bunshin, kawarimi, and four legs technique, if it came to that.

The Crimson Raven

OOC: Good way of keeping the post order there Saaki

IC: It mattered little what preparations they took. Swift and without sound, save the leaves that followed the upward movement, the shadow took into the sky with a single, powerful jump. The sun blocking out an onlookers vision, 5 smaller shadows came speeding towards the area. Just above the ground the now visible, fist sized bone shards exploded in different directions, sending a cloud of razor sharp bone chips flying outwards. Some cutting deep into the thick trees, other cleaving whole branches off. While the bone grenades detonated, sending out their vicious hail, the figure leaded heavily in the center of the area, hunching and strong, his arms dripping with blood. One unbelievably deep roar came from this boy's form, like some monster was just behind him. But there was no mistaking the source of that howl. As the call ended, saliva a blood flew of his maw, closing it and looking frantically for his target.

OOC:Just read it when your told to.

Spoiler:

airknight12

Kishi ignored the Gnein going around trying to set up traps. Traps in themselves wore worthless unless it was done in a instant or set before hand. Other wise the opponet would know and avoid it, also you open yourself up to several attacks. He was more intrested in the beast like opponet before him. It reminded him of himself, and that was something seldom done. Few people were as twisted as Kishi.

His Falcon Jager was still sitting on him waiting to see what was going to happen. THen the exlosion took place and the bird flew into the sky to avoid it. While Kishi had his vines spin to create a barriar and stop them from hititng him. The effect of the bloody air was making Kishi become more violent. His blood was boiling and he wanted to try the beast out. (Saaki, the blood stuff can make you hilucinate and a bunch of other crap might want to rp being effected in a way besides fear)

As the explosion stopped and the clone was there screaming Jager dived down and sliced clear through it using its talons. The blood covered it and it flew back to Kishi. "hum...definatly not the right one..." He kept listening and smelling for any thing diffrent in the area.

Saaki

(sorry about that crimson, forgot
then why isn't kishi being effected?)

He hadn't had time to do it before hand. The only reason Gentai had done it at all was because he didn't have much else, and this was a powerful ninja. Even though he had a powerful shinobi on his side.
For now, Gentai would let Kishi attack, but if he got exposed, he would have to fight. He only hoped he wasn't pitted against the thing by himself, if the other was badly injured or killed or for some reason couldn't help. He could tell he would probably lose.
It pissed him off, though, that he had lost atleast twenty feet.

He had to run behind a nearby rock as the bone rained down, blocking several pieces that went astray with his tanto, then he peeked out, his dagger still in hand.
He stepped out from behind the rock, watching as the apparent clone was sliced clean through, then he jumped back into the clearing, away from the trees that were still standing.

He started to hear sounds behind him, and he spun around, then thought he saw something, and backed away, the enemy hallucination starting to advance on him. He threw a kunai at it, and it disappeared.
The male turned back around and saw the same thing, same enemy in the same position coming towards him, facial expression the same. He gritted his teeth, realixing something was wrong with the blood smell, and averted his eyes, looking for the real thing. Out of the corner of his eye he noticed it disappeared once he looked away.

The Crimson Raven

OOC: Sorry for the delay. South African internet is so very unreliable.

IC: The clone disappeared but as it did so, the ground beneath Kishi ripped open like a wound; blood gushed out like an oil vein struck, covering everything in it's thick, scarlet hue and heavy metallic scent. Hidden in this spray and rain, dragging upwards at Kishi with great strength, were the spikes, tusks, horns and claws of a monstrous man once call Shinku. His physical form now had been twisted further by the influence of the Red Beast, the collective consciousness of the Shiraku family which now possess his body. Mouth roaring open, wider then natural, thousands of teeth presented themselves which muscular jaws to rip right through Kishi's shields.

In the upwards stream of blood, something trailed behind the beast, flicks of white and grey. Spined and sharp, it swam behind him like a fish through water. It snaked passed the two and into the air above Kishi; all still obscured by the fountain of blood created by Shiraku.

OOC: You can read the spoiler now. I was waiting under ground for you.

airknight12

"Togeyomi" Kishi covered himself in a thick layer of steel like hair and was pushed by the blodo and then he moved his wait to fall out of the flow onto dryer ground. He stood up and laughed. THen he did the hand seals for hair missles shooting it into the blood stream and at what ever was within it. The Steel like hair strands pushed into it, damaging bone, and possibly hitting the target. "you stupid beast, i dont give up...To bad I have to leave soon"

occ: kishi is needed for the CHuunin exams next week. have to finish this up soon.

Saaki

(and...what about training?)

Gentai, as soon as the blood started flowing out of the ground, got into someplace high, being as subtle and quiet as he could, hoping the thing had forgotten him.
To tell the truth, so he could attack from above. Sure, he was scared of him, but he had to attack him.
He barely heard what the man had said, but he had heard it.
"Leave? Why the hell.....? He better finish this up 'cause I can't."
How could Kishi be so collected? Experience, probably, but it was amazing how he just stood there and repelled the attacks, then took offense himself when there was an opening, rather than working on defense. He already had that down, so he had no need to.
Gentai sighed, waiting to see if the creature that had once been a ninjalooked his way. He crouched a little smaller, hiding in the leaves.

The Crimson Raven

A massive roar escaped the beast as it faded into the upward fall of blood; the hair spikes pushing him back. However, that wicked smile bend it's way through the flow as it died out. The spikes back been stopped. They'd hit their target alright; dead center in the chest; while some were held back or off course by blood flows, protection from the Red Beast style. But after that; they'd stopped in his chest.

With lightening speed, the spinal extension out of Shinku's back, looking like a skeletal tail, shot out and stopped right before Kishi's throat. Shinku was...sniffing. There was a change to his eyes. He sniffed again. The tail lowered, retracting back to behind it's creator. The blood began to subside back into Shinku and the steel like bones that made up with claws, tusks and horns ungrew.

"We smell something...familiar. You have the scent of madness about you. We do not eat our own. " The creature then backed off, the spikes in his chest being removed as he stepped back, revealing the set of bone plates beneath his skin, blocking their progression.

airknight12

Kishi Smiled as it happend. Death was something he would welcome when it came, then he would endure his punishment for ever. To him though everything was a game, and a challenge to be overcome. He figured there was some crazy way he could even exscape death, the question was...how? His eye's flickerd as the words madness came to his ears. They made him chuckle in a evil manor, more so than normal. He moved his head to the side and placed his bangs away from him. "Madness doesnt begin to describe me.....more like the arch demon of chaos residing dormently and slowly awakening to kill all those that are already his masters....What is your name Demon of the grave?" Kishi kept his hair vines ready as he wasnt nieve enough to drop his guard. He needed leave but would wait a few moments more, and turned towards the child. "The Chuunin exams are going to begin in konoha, I may be a missing nin in general but to them I am a jounin and I can give you a head band if you wish to shed their blood."

Saaki

(Which one?
because he can't go if it's in kiri, they'd recognize him)

Unfortunately Gentai had not had time to attack, seeing as the other had stopped attacking and apparently wanted peace. He, too, did not relax, but he jumped down from the tree, still staying close to the trunk.
He had heard the beast's words, and then the words of the shinobi on his side.
He'd heard something about a lot of bloodlines, had studied a few, in fact, and he believed this was the Shiraku bloodline, with the Red Beast style.
The young ninja nodded.
"Thank you. That would be appreciated."
He shivered slightly at how the man put it, because he wasn't keen on killing, he just wanted to become a chuunin.

The Crimson Raven

A snarl rolled from the back of the beings throat; now looking more like a man then a monster. " WE are Shiraku. Once but the boy Shinku. Now our souls are legion." Thats oddly large smile wringed itself onto the Shiraku's face yet again. The blood that dripped from it's body, forearms and face began to flow backwards, slipping itself back into the open wounds from whence can and the gashes sealing up as quickly as the ruby liquid retreated from sight.

It shifted in place, like a restless child in a line at the bank. Tilting it's head and turned it in a rather awkward looking position to stare off at the young boy, watch from the safety of the far off rocks. It's mouth opening alittle and closing again; swing it's arms from side to side waiting for Kishi's response and restraining it's will to feed.

airknight12

"Legion...that's a interesting name, but fitting" He wrapped his clock back around him and used the hair regrowth jutsu to return his hair to normal length, and dropped his vines. Reaching into his pockets and grabbing his chains. "I'm sorry my brother...but i must go for now....soon I will return here to train, and then to Suna...if you wish to join me then return here in one month." Kishi looked at the genin and smiled. "if you wish to live boy follow me" Kishi then walked away.

occ: he's an A ranked Missing nin/ Jounin of konoha...i'll explain over pm if you want.

Saaki

(One second...I can't participate in the chuunin exams anyway because I'm in the middle of my first mission only)

Gentai watched them converse.
"I'm not even sure I'm ready for the chuunin exams. I've learned one jutsu, other than the basics, and I still have four more I need to do. The one I was about to learn next wouldn't exactly help much when fighting one on one, or even really in any battle, but it would benefit me to have it."
The teenager sighed and stretched his arms out.
"I don't even know when they are. But I should be able to have some time to train, a few days, maybe. I think they usually give you time to perfect jutsus, maybe learn some, get yourself in shape. But whatever. I probably don't need to be registered for another week anyways."
He nodded and quickly jogged to Kishi's side, keeping a safe distance from Legion, as he had heard. Until he was out of the forest, he didn't feel much like talking, and so he would ask those questions then.

The Crimson Raven

A long tongue, covered in rows of disturbingly out of place teeth slithered it's way out of the Shiraku's mouth and over it's lips as it watched the boy and Kishi leave. With powerful legs it pushed down into the soft, rich forest earth and launched itself up into the trees; off to some new scent that had snake it's way into the Red Beast's senses.
