RPG Naruto: Beginning of the End

[Draco]

Draco knocked that clone soo hard the smoke still had the bruise mark.

Draco: "So you think it was funny to steal my sword when I wasnt looking? That sword is priceless to all nations for it has no maker. Its my sword not yours. Keep your hands off it or you will lose them."

With that Draco disappears and reappears behind the prankster and takes his sword back. After getting back his sword, he placed a jutsu upon it. He looks at the perso and glares at him.

Draco: "Try that again and your hands will melt off. Your arms will boil to the point where the pain is unimaginable. I placed the jutsu Thiefs Punishment upon it. This sword isnt yours and will not even inflict damage to anything when used by non-Mountain clan member. Im the last oe so only I can use it. I don't care if you steal my cloths nor my money. Don't ever take my sword."

Draco was glowing with enormus chalkra. He sat back down and went back to sleep. When this happened the chalkra disappeared into nothing.

[Takil]

Shiro watched the preceedings with a smile. The kid was pretty good, that was for sure. Well, not on the level he was for Kawarimi, but honestly, who was?

Smiling brightly at the furious face Draco gave, Shiro mumbled. "I think his sword is a she. No, Charon?"

Almost like he heard it, he nodded.

'I wonder if his sword talks too. Mine does... Either than that or I'm insane.?'

If he asked someone who knew him, they'd likely say the latter.

Shiro looked at Rizen and grinned, but either then the man looking in his direction once, the ANBU paid no more attention to him. 'Easy to see he doesn't like me. Well, that's fine. Whatever floats his boat I guess. Brat should still respect his elder though.' "Come to think of it, I'm fricking old. Yep, age 103. Tomorrow I'll be 17. Go me! 103 going on 17. I'm retroactive~"

The nins quickly decided not to really listen to what he said anymore.

Shiro grinned brightly and waddled off. He came across Arimi practicing. 'She's good. '

"I think I'm good enough and that's all that matters. Screw what he says. "She gritted her teeth as his comments rang through her mind again.

"Damnit!"

"You are very good! I wouldn't want to fight you, you'd win! Man oh man! No contest! Easy victory! Well, right now you're too tired, but if you were up to peak! Fweeooh!" He pretended to whistle.

Arimi glared at the kook-nin and growled in her throat. "Stop making fun of me!"

Shiro smiled, but it wasn't huge. "Who said I was? I mean it. What can I do? Kawarimi, Henge, and clones. Laa dee dah. But you know, it's kept me alive for all these years!" He grinned brightly again. "As long as you fight for what you believe in, as long as you fight for something you want, no matter what it is, and as long as you fight with all your strength!"

The nin's voice dropped to a whisper. "Not even the Gods can beat you. No one can. Do you have faith in your abilities?"

"Yes! No matter what anyone says!"

Shiro grinned again, his voice becoming loud once again. "Then believe in yourself forever, and never let anyone tell you that you're anything but what you are, a great ninja! Good night, sweet muffins!"

And with that, he walked off.

Arimi stared at his back in confusion before sighing and looking away.

"FIGHT ON! FOR THE MUFFINS!"

It was going to be one hell of a trip.

[Draco]

(OoC: Sorry about before guys.)

Draco looks at Shiro and thinks. [COLOR="Red"]That guy Shiro acts insane but he does make a point. Fight for what you believe in."[/COLOR]

Draco looks at the pranster of the group and laughs.

Draco: "Im just joking dude, their is no jutsu like that or at least none that I kow but please dont mess with the sword. Lets just say its a family heirloom and its was given to me by my clan at a young age."

Draco goes back to sleep hoping that his sword wont go missing again and be replaced by a fake.

[The Enemy]

After seeing Arimi go off to the clearing you didn't have to be Rizen to know what she was up to, which of coarse means Rizen himself was well aware. After about 5 minutes he decided to check on her. Walking over to the clearing he noticed several leaves cut in half, and Arimi lying on the ground.

Rizen jogged over quickly and knelt down next to her. ?Are you ok?? He asked with a strange sounding worried tone.

?Yah of coarse I am, I just needed to prove a point.? Arimi answered, smiling.

?Here eat this.? Said Rizen as he handed Arimi a small round pill. She gave him a questionable look but downed the pill without complaints.

?Ugh! That was awful!? ok, without many complaints?

?But how do you feel?? Rizen asked with a smirk.

Arimi jumped to her feet and moved around, stretching and exercising. ?I feel amazing! What the hell was that?!? She asked excitedly.

?They are called soldier pills. They revitalise your chakra and give you the energy to keep going for three days without sleep. But seeing how you fight, I?m guessing you won?t pass out for the rest of the day, at the very least.? Rizen chuckled.

Arimi smiled and followed when Rizen gave a gesture for her to come with him back to the group. Upon rejoining the group Rizen whistled loudly ?OK everyone, as you should all be well aware, we won today with sheer luck. This battle could have gone a lot worse. The first step to working well as a team, is knowing exactly what your team mates are capable of. I don?t want us practicing on animals if we can avoid it, so I want us all to break into smaller groups. We will either give exhibitions of our talents or you can have a quick sparring match with a member of your group, the others can observe. I leave that up to you. After about five to ten minutes we?ll rotate and all choose a few members we weren?t with before. If all goes as I want it to, we should all be very familiar with each other?s techniques within an hour or 2. I want you all to remember, these are friendly spars I do not want to be treating lethal injuries on our first day because some reject didn?t know how to hold back.?

Rizen paused and walked over to Shiro and Draco ?That goes double for you two.? he stepped back and turned to address the whole group. ?OK we don?t have long so let?s get this over with and move on.? Rizen decided not to take initiative in finding a group, if someone wanted him in theirs he wouldn?t object, but in the case he died, he didn?t want the team totally lost without a leader.

[Akieen Cloud]

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Arimi scratched the back of her neck and looked around slid towards Rizen and grabbed hold of his hand before any of the others could zoom in on her. She looked over at him as he pulled his hand away.
"What are you doing?"
"Um...pairing up with you?"
"Why?"
"Cause you said we could?"
He looked at her and nodded silently before he took his battle stance, she walked around him before she applied her chakra and sprinted to him throwing her fist forward followed closely as he blocked by her foot meeting his arms. She smiled sweetly at him and pushed off the ground with her hands pushing him back. Landing on her feet she sprinted towards him again and jumped at him throwing her weight into the kick sending him into a tree. Her eyes widened as an explosive tag landed in front of her, she applied more chakra and ran up the trunk of a tree out of its range just as it went off.
Looking around she saw him no where, freezing she looked above her and smiled as he looked down at her.
"Hello."
She waved and jumped up to his level sprinting behind him and wrapping her arms around his neck she leaned into him and smiled more.
"Well now, what have we here?"
He grabbed her around the neck and flipped her down wards, landing softly she looked back up as he came down to meet her, flipping sideways she met his downward attack with a well aimed kick. Holding him up she smiled again and winked at him.
"This is fun."
He frowned and pushed back landing on his feet, laughing lightly she stretched and walked towards him cracking her knuckles and getting ready for a second go. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[Haku877]

"Go ♥ Arimi-Chan ♥ !!!!!! yelled a voice in the distance

"heh, jets finnaly here" said Shinori

"Where the hell have you been?!?!?" everyone complained" We were just in a fight!"

"Ya sorry, I had to get some uhh, Materials, and I caught up and Studied all of you in combat.

"Well now that you studied, lets fight" pronounced Shinori

"C'mon Shin, I've known you forever, were like brothers, I could always win if it were for the love of my ♥ Arimi-Chan ♥!

"Ok lets go"

The battle started of with Jet and Shinori bowing to each other in respect. The first move was mad by Jet, Who melded into the ground and grabbed Shinori under the ground and threw him outward.

"Did you see that ♥ Arimi-Chan ♥!?" Jet yelled

"Watch whos fight your paying attention to jet, a GIANT fireball came out and hit Jet, scaring his left arm( more bringing out his cross)

"heh, thanks for the light" jet Laughed as he put a cigarette in his mouth.
"Now you all know where all these scars and burnt clothes are from" Jet said

Shinori Laughed, since we know each others techniques this should be interesting.
He was in his special technique of a super flame, as Jet made rock armor and nun-chucks. Jet did some signs and rocks were everywhere, shinori charged on and lava was everywhere.. First to stand was jet.

" ♥ Arimi-Chan♥ did you see I won!" Jet yelled

"Idiot, just because you got up first doesn't mean you win" barked Shin

"Whatever, your just angry 5 minutes of your special technique is used up!" Jet scolded

"Whatever you two" Said the voice or reason Draco.

"So, whos the next match?" said Jet, while running over to Arimi

"And you two, What happened to, Don't go All out!!!" yelled Rizen

"Sorry" in unison Shin and Jet said "We got carried away"

[The Spectacular Professor]

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Shinori got up and dusted off his jacket. "So, Raizen. You were saying something about small teams?"

"Oh, yeah. I was. Well, I think I'll pair you up with-"

"Hold it right there, bossman. I'm not usually this insubordinate, but here's the thing. I'm with Jetsu, got it?"

"Why?"

"We know each other best. We've even developed techniques together. You want this operation to go smoothly? Here's an easy way to make it happen sooner."

"Fine," said Raizen, "do what you have to."

Shinori turned around. "Hey, Jet! Practice time. Come on."

Jetsu moaned. "But Shin, I wanna stay with Arimi-cha-"

"Get. Over. Here." breathed Shinori, "haul your lazy butt over here before I set your lungs on fire."

"Fine. Just cut the threats already."

"That's better. Come on, weren't we working on a new technique? I bet we can complete it within 2 hours!"[/FONT]

[The Enemy]

Rizen frowned at the two younger ninja, “Just be more careful next time. You’ll have to wait your turn, Me and Arimi aren’t done yet.” Rizen smiled looking back at Arimi.

"Anyways back to us, what say we turn things up a notch?" he grinned. Arimi gave him a mischievous smile and nodded focussing chakra to her legs. Rizen made 3 hand signs before Arimi punched him in the chest. He stumbled back several feet and smiled looking up at her "3 was all I needed." His hands began glowing a light blue.

"What?? I thought you said we weren't being serious! That jutsu could do some heavy damage!" she said worriedly.

"Calm down, this isn't my chakra sword technique." Rizen explained calmly. "Though it is another medical jutsu" a devilish grin adorned Rizen's face. He lunged forward, Arimi narrowly dodged, only letting his palm graze her shoulder. She stopped, rolling her shoulder forward then back then moving her arm a little.

"What did you do to my shoulder?!" she demanded "It feels really weird!" Arimi pouted moving her shoulder around more.

Rizen laughed softly "This jutsu is used on patients about to be preformed on by surgeons. It shuts down the nerve endings of a given area, making surgery painless. In sparring, it simply restrains your movement from it's fullest, making places here and there, completely numb." Rizen laughed lightly again going for another attack. Arimi swiftly blocked with her good arm, making her wrist lose feeling.

"Ahhh! Stop doing that!" She complained moving her hand around trying to get feeling back in her wrist. When she gave up examining her wrist and looked up for Rizen, he was gone. She closely looked around the surrounding area before stopping and scratching her head "Where the heck did he go??" Soon after she found her thighs and both biceps had lost feeling as well. "Hey! what the hell?!" She demanded moving her arms around, trying to get used to the numbness.

Rizen appeared in front of her just afterward. Appearing to form from leaves that were falling from the surrounding trees. "I am very skilled at medical jutsu. But my other expertise lies in genjutsu."

Arimi frowned at him playfully "you're mean!" she shouted childishly.

Rizen smiled "I'm just demonstrating all of my skills" he defended. So are we going to finish this or what?" Arimi frowned again at the taunt.

[Akieen Cloud]

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Arimi narrowed her eyes and focused more on her chakra, she was putting everything she had into trying to use her legs now; her arms numb they would be almost useless. She took a deep breathe and closed her eyes. Opening them again she nodded as her legs tingles slightly giving her some feeling back in them. She planted her feet and charged at him full speed, his eyes widen momentarily as he took in her speed for her legs be numb. Recovering quickly he struck her again with his numbing technique and noticed that she had attacked him full front with her arms.
"What the-?"
He was knocked to the side as she aimed a kick to his ribs, as he jumped to regain his balance she was on him again. Using the same statagey as before, his technique numbing her arms more and more but her legs working on kicking him from every angle they could. She could feel her chakra running low and decided it was time to finish it win or lose. She ran at him top speed and stopped a foot away from him, using her speed she appeared behind him and as he spun around she was again behind him, she did this many times til she was able to get an arm around his neck and pull him down into a tackle. She smiled down at him as he placed both hands on her stomach and numbed her there smiling him self as he found a kunai point to his throat.
"Draw?"
"I don't do draws."
She nodded and smiled more.
"Neither do I."
She back flipped and threw the kunai knowing he had already won but not willing to give up she ran at him one last time and kicked his open palm which hit his chest and sent him back onto his back with her landing heavily on top of him. She winced as she rubbed the back of her neck and looked down at him.
"You win that time, but next time your mine. Now gimme feeling back in my limbs here please."
She groaned as Jet jogged up to her.
"Arimi-chan, you did great!"
"I lost, and Jet, please can you not look at me through the eyes of a fan boy?"
He smiled and looked down at her.
"For you Arimi-chan, anything."
She pinched the bridge of her nose and looked up at Rizen giving him a 'help me' look, her eyes begging him to have mercy on her.
[/FONT][/COLOR]

[P.J. McKrafty]

Mitsuo sat upon his perch in the tree and watched as the other scattered into their groups. He watched as Rizen and Arimi go about their little tiff and found the whole lot to be a waste of time. Why did he have to prove himself to the others? He was here wasn't he? That alone should prove his skill, and that was enough logic for Mitsuo to stay out of the whole damned thing.

Content with this Mitsuo sat back and cracked open a book. [B]"Kids these days,"[/B] He muttered to himself. A thud that shook his branch made Mitsuo jump a bit. He peeked around the branch and saw a kunai stuck in the bottom. [B]"Son of a bitch!"[/B]
[B]
"I'm telling you I heard something in the tree."[/B] Came Arimi's voice from below. Mitsuo rolled his eyes and pried the knife from the tree before he swept his legs off the branch and jumped down. He landed softly a few feet from where Rizen and Arimi sat, Rizen apparently trying to return feeling to Arimi's appendages.
[B]
"This your's?"[/B] Mitsuo spat as he threw the kunai to the now blushing Arimi.
[B]
"What were you doing in the tree?"[/B] Rizen asked [B]"shouldn't you be sparring?"[/B]
[B]
"Who died and made you Hokage?"[/B] Mitsuo shot back.

[B]"I didn't see anyone protesting me taking the leadership role in this group of misfits."[/B] Mitsuo just shot his and up in response and dawned a sheepish grin. [B]"very mature."[/B]
[B]
"Maybe he can spar with us."[/B] Arimi suggested.

Rizen dawned a bit of a sheepish grin himself. [B]"Fine, if you have such a high regard for your skills how about it? Two against one?"[/B]

[B]"Fine,"[/B] Mitsuo fished in his pack and pulled out a kunai with a tag attached to it. [B]"[I]onetwothree[/I] GO!"[/B] he blurted and threw the kunai to the dirt and jumped into the neatest tree just as the flash went off blinding the other two. [B]"Catch me if you can!"[/B]

[Blazerman32]

[COLOR="Green"]Kai watched the others assemble into their small groups. He had gotten up to find a group, but in that few seconds everyone had already begun. He looked over to his dismay found the only 2 not sparring to were Draco and Udyu. ?Aw hell?? he muttered to himself and began to walk over to Draco.

?Yo Kai! Come spar with[I] me[/I]!? shouted Udyu. He ran over and started poking Kai in the chest with his skinny fingers.

?Stop.?

?What, you scared? Maybe you should pair with Draco after all so I don?t hurt your self-esteem!?

He pushed Udyu backward and he toppled over into the dirt. Udyu got up, spitting out random curses at him.

?What the hell was that for!?

?You said you wanted to spar? He said putting emphasis on ?spar?. He got into a stance as Udyu pulled out his Rapier.

?Go.? He whispered and dissipated into a puff of smoke.

Kai crept up a tree a few yards to the east from where Udyu was standing. He activated his eyes and began to watch Udyu. He wasn?t moving but Kai figured the rookie was in shock by his quick disappearance. Udyu began to look around. ?This isn?t fair! Stop hiding and come out!? he shouted.

Kai grabbed a shuriken from his pouch and attached an explosive tag. He waited for Udyu to stop shouting for him and threw the kunai directly at his feet. Udyu had noticed too late and the small explosion was heard.

Spitting dirt out of his mouth Udyu pulled himself to his feet.

"I let you do that! I'm not gonna let you win!"

His shouting was getting tiresome but now he would let Udyu try somthing. He jumped down from the tree and shouted over to Udyu.

"Here I am."[/COLOR]

[Draco]

Draco heard Rizen say pair up but the only person left was that weird guy Shiro. Draco walks over to Shiro and stares at him for a few seconds.

Draco: "Yo Shiro, I guess it leaves you and me. Soo lets get this over with."

Shiro: "Who are you?"

Draco: "You got to be kidding me. Your Shiro and your my sparing partner."

Shiro: "Oh ok, wait what are we doing?"

Draco: "Look we are just showing off are abilities right now, no lethal injuries Got it?"

Shiro: "Okay."

Draco shakes his head in disapointment. After that he pulls out his sword and with one hand does three signs.

Draco: "Dragons Fury!"

His sword glowed with blue chalkra and lifted slightly into the air.

Draco: "Shiro, defend your self!"

Draco dashes foward and swings left. Shrio dodges and regains balance. Draco picks up some rocks and tosses them at him. A few rocks hit but didnt do much damage. Draco throws his sword into a tree.

Draco: "Sorry Dilo, but he is too fast for you. Time for the daggers."

Draco does 6 signs and pulls daggers from his belt and they lite on fire with green flames. Shiro pulls out several Kuni with exsplosive tags on them and tosses them at Draco.

Draco: "SHIT!"

Boom, direct impact. Draco gets flung into a building. Getting up and dusting himself off.

Draco: "I couldnt even tell what he was doing. I call this one a loss."

Draco pulls Dilo out of the tree and cleans it off, then sits down.

Draco: "Shiro, your one crazy guy. I conside."

Shiro looked like he didnt know what was going on.

[Akieen Cloud]

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Arimi jumped back cursing loudly.
"Jackass!"
She dropped to her knee, her legs not fully awake yet.
"Damnit..."
She dodged a kunai and landed next to Rizen breathing heavily.
"I'm really hating the people we're working with you know that?"
"Nice to know your opinion on me."
"Oh, not you, your alright. I like you."
He leaned on him and laughed as he side stepped.
"You know, you have to learn to take a joke."
"I usually don't joke."
"Well there's your problem. Your not loose enough, you need to hang with me more."
"No thank you. I like the way I am,"
She shook her head and smiled.
"I'll rub off on you eventually."
"Doubt it."
She smiled and shook her head.
"We'll see."
She shook her arms to get the rest of the feeling back into them and sprinted to her left as Rizen went right. She pulled out a few kunai and began to look for Mitsuo. Seeing a few leaves fall she threw a kunai in that direction and cursed as an explosive tag floated down to be eye level with her. She jumped back and fell through the tops of the trees landing on Rizen as the tag went off.
"Hey there."
He pushed her off and stood up.
"Pay attention would you."
She stuck out her tongue and grabbed his hand to pull her self up.
"I got caught off guard it happens sheesh."
"Don't let it happen again."
She frowned and brushed her self off, focusing her chakra she dissappered and landing on a branch above Rizen.
"I'll take the high ground, you take the low ground."
He nodded and took off running in the direction they had seen Mitsuo go, Arimi kept up with Rizen easily till they found him. Arimi didn't wait for Rizen to move firlst she charged in to meet Mitsuo and jumped up aiming a kick to his chest making him dodge to the left meeting Rizen head on. He smirked and dissappereard making Rizen and Arimi almost run into one another. She smiled at him and jumped up into the higher branches following Mitsuo closely. She landed on a branch across from him and launched off the branch at him. By the time Rizen made it up to the branch they were on they were a flurry of limbs as they fought one another. Arimi noticed Rizen watching and frowned putting more effort into her fighting for some unknown reason. She frowned more as she realized she was doling so she gritted her teeth and applied more chakra increasing her speed more.
'Why? Why am I putting so much effort in this right now?'
She punched the tree making it tremble and made Mitsuo lose balance for a split second and took the advantage attacking him quickly aware that Rizen was still watching, waiting for an opening of his own. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[The Enemy]

[I]OOC: It has come to my attention several people are playing characters as less mature than they are, I ask all people doing this to remember what the sign ups say. If you can?t, read them again.[/I]

Rizen observed the fight between Arimi and Mitsuo, analyzing each fighter?s style and technique. Carefully looking for an opening in Mitsuo?s defence. Rizen waited a while before jumping in front of Arimi. She stopped on a dime and looked forward as Rizen threw a kunai at Mitsuo. He simply smiled and watched as the kunai made a thud as it dug into the tree he rested on the branch of.

?You?re aim?s a little off, next time try throwing it at me!? Mitsuo laughed. The smile quickly vanished as he heard the sizzling of an exploding tag on the kunai. Without a word he leapt backward avoiding the blast but still being sprinkled with wood chips. After shielding his eyes Mitsuo looked up to see Arimi gone and only Rizen standing on a branch baring a kunai in each hand. ?Please, you really think I?m that stupid?? Mitsuo made a hand sign ?Release!?

The surrounding trees and branches shimmered slightly as Arimi reappeared behind Rizen, who then vanished. Revealing another Rizen now only feet away swinging a paralyzing palm at Mitsuo?s knee. Mitsuo grinned at his foiling of Rizen?s plan, and jumped back to another branch. Hearing a footstep behind him Mitsuo turned to see another Rizen, also lunging with a paralyzing palm. ?Another illusion?!? He exclaimed jumping at the first with a kick, just in case.

The kick flew through the first Rizen as if he weren?t there. Half expecting this Mitsuo didn?t have to scramble for balance. At least not until he felt a thick branch ram his chest. After looking down and seeing nothing Mitsuo just shook his head, he only fell for a moment before aiming to land on a lower branch. But when the moment came he passed right through the branch. ?Damn it!? he cursed, a moment before his back collided with the ground. [I]?He put an illusion over his first illusion, when I escaped the first I thought I was out.? [/I]Mitsuo thought.


Rizen dropped from the tree above looking down on Mitsuo?s head. Arimi came down as well by his feet. Rizen quickly dropped to one knee and paralyzed Mitsuo?s entire arms. ?Something?s wrong?? Rizen noted. He quickly pulled out a kunai and stabbed it into Mitsuo?s chest.

?What are you doing?!? Arimi gasped.

?Revealing a trap!? Rizen explained. Mitsuo melted into sand. ?A replacement?? Rizen frowned. Seconds later he heard a familiar sizzling. Three exploding tags went off in the sand, sending sand through the area at high speed. Rizen used body flicker to tackle Arimi out of the main blast zone. Protecting her from most of the secondary blast force as well. He groaned in pain as he used the mystical palm technique to heal the worse injuries on his back.

Meanwhile Mitsuo watched from a branch not to far above. Rizen noticed his position and bet over Arimi pretending to heal her injuries. He really made several hand signs and disappeared. Mitsuo chuckled to himself ?Ha another genjutsu clone huh?? and looked around for Rizen?s attack noticing it quickly as Rizen charged his left. Mitsuo laughed and threw a kunai with a specially made explosive tag. The kunai lodged in Rizen?s shoulder and the tag detonated. The blast was merely a shockwave, designed to blow open doors without dealing significant damage to the building around it.

As Rizen flew back a smile could be spotted on his face. [I]?What the hell is he smiling about??[/I] Mistuo asked himself. Rizen?s back met a tree behind him with a loud splash as he dissipated into water. ?A water clone!?? Mitsuo exclaimed as the real Rizen had just used the standard water clone jutsu, as well as the invisibility genjutsu. Mitsuo?s legs from the knee down became numb, but Rizen couldn?t do his arms as well before Mitsuo swung around with a kunai.

Rizen dropped down to Arimi again. ?Now we?re in business? he boasted with a smirk. He focussed more chakra to his hands and finished up Arimi?s healing, giving her back full feeling. Rizen finished by re-performing his numbing technique, and resuming his fighting stance toward Mitsuo. ?Give up whenever you?re ready? Rizen taunted.

[P.J. McKrafty]

Mitsuo leaned against the tree to keep his balance. Far be it from him to belittle a move like that. He stared at the two on the ground who just returned his glance. A tad bit arrogant of them just to assume that he would be helpless in this state.

[B]“So what is it?”[/B] Rizen called from the ground a grin now spread across his and Arimi’s face [B]“Do you submit?”[/B]

[B]“I must admit, that was clever,”[/B] Mitsuo replied.[B] “But I have learned a countermeasure to such jutsu.”[/B]

Rizen’s grin faltered a bit and Arimi’s vanished altogether as Mitsuo pulled out another kunai. He pulled up his pant leg and loosened the wrappings on his leg and made three horizontal cuts along the leg.

[B]“Messy, I know, but effective, the increased blood flow won’t give me full feeling but enough to keep my footing.”[/B] Mitsuo called at the two as he tightened the wrappings and fixed his pants. And with that Mitsuo was off again.

As he moved through the trees he would periodically slap an explosive tag on trees to hopefully throw off his pursuers. He heard the occasional curse as one would have struck home but otherwise nothing except the rustle of the leaves. He was going strong until he reached a weak branch. He landed on his numbed leg and faltered a bit before trying g to jump to the next branch. He made it mid-jump before Arimi’s knee collided with the small of his back sending him to the ground.

[B]“Ouch!”[/B] Mitsuo grunted as he squirmed a bit under Arimi’s knee.

She stopped this by grabbing a handful of his hair and jerking his head up, gently pushing a kunai against his throat. [B]“We are going to sit here and wait for Rizen to catch up.”[/B] Mitsuo could just hear the smile on her face.

[B]“Or we could do this.”[/B] Mitsuo grabbed a handful of sand and tossed it over his shoulder. He apparently hit home because she shrieked and her pressure on his back loosened he quickly used all his strength and shoved her off him. He scrambled to his feet to see her on her butt cursing and rubbing at her eyes. [B]“Not exactly smooth but it works.”[/B]

[B]“It’s also dirty fighting.”[/B] Came Rizen’s voice from behind him.

[B]“There’s no such thing as a fair fight is there?”[/B] Mitsuo replied turning to face Rizen. [B]“I didn’t cripple or maim her, no permanent harm no foul.”[/B]

Rizen rolled his eyes as he came out of the tree line and walked over to Arimi. [B]“I think we should stop.”[/B]

[B]“Oh, giving up so easily?”[/B]

[B]“Actually its because your bleeding is getting pretty bad.”[/B]

Mitsuo cast a glance down at his leg and saw that the blood had soaked through his wrappings and was making its way to his foot. [B]“I guess I was a bit over vigorous when cutting my calf,” [/B]Mitsuo let out a hefty sigh. [B]“I guess I’ll submit.”[/B]

[B]“Then let’s get back to the others, and I guess I’ll leave that numbed until you get it fixed up.”[/B]

Mitsuo nodded and then took off in the direction of the others.

[Draco]

Draco saw Rien Arimi and Mitsuo coming out of the tree line and Mitsuo bleeding from his leg. Draco laughed.

Draco: "Wow, got a little fiesty eh Rizen and Arimi?"

Rizen and Arimi: "Shut up!"

Draco: "Fine fine, Can I do anything forthat wound Mitsuo?"

Mitsuo: "I'll be fine."

Draco yawned and layed down.

Draco: "Well Im hitting the bed so tell me when we are moving. Sparing against team mates isnt what I call training, more lke a waste of time. If you really want to see what we can do, I might imply giving us targets to take out alone the way to where ever we are going. NIGHT!"

Draco drops his head on the grohnd and falls asleep.

[Akieen Cloud]

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Arimi clenched her fist and growled.
"Oh he really gets on my nerves..."
She looked around and saw everyone else finishing their spars and sighed.
"Do we really have to spar everyone else?"
"I would prefer if you do. I need you all to know what the entire team is capable of."
She sighed and hung her head.
"But I'm tired!"
He frowned and nodded.
"I'm not surprised, you wasted alot of chakra between our spar and the one with Mitsuo. I've noticed you don't have very good control over it do you?"
She huffed and dropped the arm of Mitsuo's she was supporting. Ignoring him as he protested at her she kicked dirt at the two of them and stalked off.
"You can finish your stupid spars with out me!"
Rizen frowned more and shook his head.
"Childish. Some of the team needs to grow up."
He jumped back as a kunai hit the ground where he had been standing, looking up he saw Arimi standing a few yards away, her pack in one hand, another kunai in the other and a death look written on her face. Cheeks flushed and holding back tears of embarrassment she threw the kunai into the dirt at her feet and turned around heading for the waterfall they had previously fought Kisame at, just to be sure she wasn't followed she applied chakra to her legs and took off in a puff of dust. Appearing at the waterfall she took her shoes off and stuck her feet into the water and felt a small chill go up her spine, shaking her head she set up a screen and stripped, looking around to make sure no one followed her she walked up to the pool where the water collected from the waterfall and dove in. Coming to the surface she began to rub the dirt and dust from her body, grabbing her wash from the shore she began to wash, the smell of strawberries wafted up from the water as she washed, done she emerged and dried off and sat down on a rock eating a piece of dried meat from her pack she watched the ripples in the water from the waterfall and sighed.
"I realize I'm childish but it's the only way to hide how I really feel...I was always the outcast at the village, seems I might just be that way here too. I'll always just be me and if no one can accept that than piss on em'..."
In the back of her mind she heard Jet call out her name and sat up straight, the hair on the back of her neck on end and her eyes wide. She looked around and sighed realizing it was her mind playing tricks on her. She looked at the water and tossed a pebble in watching it sink.
"Wonder how long it'll take fearless leader to come looking for me."
She frowned as her thoughts went to Rizen and threw a rock into the water hard and sputtered as the water splashed into her face.
"Damnit..."
Wiping her face she heaved a sigh and lay back on the sun warmed rock and felt her self drifting to sleep with out meaning to. It wasn't long till her eyes drifted shut and she slipped into s soft sleep. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[Draco]

Draco got hit by the puff cloud and jumped up.

Draco: "OW! Man no freakin consideration for some one who sleeps......wheres Arimi?"

Rizen: "She took off."

Draco: "Took off?"

Rizen: "Yea."

Draco: "Wow, maybe I should lighten up on her."

Jet: "Yea maybe you should grow up."

Draco walks away leaving his weapons behind indicating he'll be back. Feeling like the idiot who left the turkey in the oven, so to say, went to go find Arimi and apologise for being an idoit. Jumping from roof top to roof top, looking for Arimi.

Draco: [COLOR="Red"]"Hmmm if I where a girl covered in dirt, where would I go? To get cleaned off of course. Now its still late at night so any bath house is closed. Theonly place which even has running water is the water fall I've been hearing."[/COLOR]

Draco stops ontop of a roof top and listen to the sound of the water fall. If he was getting closer the sound would be getting louder.

[Takil]

"The amount of bad this is going to contain will fill my weekly quota!"

The others all looked at Shiro who was staring at the retreating back of Draco. The brown-haired male turned to them and grinned widely. "How much are you all willing to bet that Draco-kun comes across Arimi-chan either naked or sleeping? OR BOTH!?!?"

"And why do you say that?" Rizen asked, rather calmly.

"It just seems right. With the bad bloodness in between those two, the only possible thing that could happen is definitely that! Oh man, I'd love to see it, but that would just get me baka-beating. Or a pervert-pummel." Rizen just kind of... Glared at him. "Oh come on, Rizen-kun!" The glare intensified. "Don't like that? Okay, Rizen-tan. But honestly, Rizen-pin, a baka-beating and a pervert-pummel are things that hot-blooded women do to males that peek on them or do something 'perverted'! For example, Jiraiya and Tsunade. They make the perfect example of a pervert/basher team!"

"You do know the Slug Sennin is dead, correct?"

"What do you think is going to happen, Jet-kun?" Shiro ignored Rizen and asked the blonde male.

"I think only [I]I[/I] should see ♥ Arimi-chan ♥ like that!" Jet stood with a burning flame in his eyes.

"How did you say those hearts? That's so cool!" Shiro gushed, shaking his arms wildly in the air. "I wish I could speak shapes!"

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Jet was confused, but the fire in his eyes still hadn't disappeared.

"YOUR EYES ARE ON FIRE!! QUICK! SOMEONE GET HIM SOME WATER!!"

As when he had gone off about how the Muffins needed saving, and that they were the true Gods, giving visions of the Universe and Everything, everyone just ignored Shiro.

"NO ONE LOVES MEEE!!!!!!!!"

Just another day for our favourite band of misfits.

[The Enemy]

Rizen went off running on the lake. [I]"I wonder why Draco headed backwards to the village."[/I] he thought to himself. [I]"I mean, it's obvious Arimi went somewhere t relax, but the waterfall at the en of this lake is much closer than the one back at the village. It only makes sense she would choose this one."[/I] Rizen shook his head with a feint look of confusion.

Rizen soon came upon an amazing sight. Arimi laid sprawled next to a calm pool just off the waterfall. She was stretched out on the ground, clearly in a deep sleep. Rizen did his best to ignore how beautiful she was, as he made his deathly silent approach.

[I]"Amost a crime to disturb such a scene."[/I] Rizen told himself as he reached down to wake her. he calm was broken by a kunai determined to pierce Arimi's throat. Rizen noticed and countered with another kunai of his own. The clash of metal as the kunai struck each other instantly awoke Arimi from her slumber. "You shouldn't let your guard down "Rizen commented as he knocked away three more kunai with one in his hand.

Within seconds Arimi was on her feet with a kunai gripped in each hand. The attackers stood on top of the nearby waterfall. There were easy dozens, hundreds maybe. "Is this the army of shinobi they were talking about?" Arimi asked grimly.

Rizen shook his head. "No. This is just a test, word of our mission travelled faster than I expected." The figures above them began their approach, as they came dashing down the waterfall.

"You're dead you hear me?!" a brutally familiar voice echoed down the cliff.

"N-Naruto?!" Arimi exclaimed, as hundreds of Naruto shadow clones sped towards her and Rizen.

"Fall back! We need the rest of the group if we even have a hope of surviving this!" Rizen commanded.

"Why are you leaving? Do you not want to test your metal against the green beast of the Uzumaki army?!" a different voice called out from within the horde of clones.

"Not him.." Rizen muttered.

"My name is Rock Lee! I will be the one to destroy your efforts!" Lee called out, now running ahead of the Naruto clones. Years ago, the powerful jounin Might Gai died. He preformed the forbidden technique and released the eight life gates to protect Konoha, specifically to protect Lee, from an attacking force. Though he won the battle almost single handed, he succumbed to the after effects of the last gate, death. Rock Lee saw honour, bravery, and passion in his masters actions. Pleading that he be honoured in as many ways possible for his great sacrifice. The elders and Hokage of Konoha, however, believed it was simply foolish and he should not have used the forbidden technique having dully known it's outcome.

Enraged, Lee left Konoha. He blamed them for his sensei's death, believing he died for nothing, he joined Naruto in his campaign. Seeking to destroy Konoha himself to avenge his master's passing. And he will not let a small group of shinobi to spot Naruto's plans before Lee himself has realised his dream.

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Arimi took a deep breath and was about to apply her chakra when Rizen put a hand on her arm.
"We need the others, we can't fight them on our own."
She slipped her arm out of his hand til her hand was in his and shook it once.
"Than go get the others."
"Arimi don't go against me on this, you'll die!"
"I'm the fastest and the only one that can really keep up with Lee...Just go and get the others, I'll hold them all off till you all get back here."
She didn't give him the time to argue, she applied her chakra and met Lee head on, as soon as their fists met they were gone in a blur giving Rizen the chance to get the others.

[COLOR="DarkRed"](short and to the point, on a time limit. lol)[/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR]

[Zeke47]

Seta was walking through the forest when felt a large amount of chakra over towards the lake at which they faught kisame at, even with his skill in detecting chakra from far away he was surprised that he couldn't even pick up either of the 2 people who where their a moment ago's chakra. hoping nothing happened to them knowing that the pure mass of chakra would easily cover up the other 2's chakra he was still woried and took off making a few shadow clones to warn the others.

Quickly arriving on the scene looking out from the trees he saw Rock lee jump down and yell as Rizen and Arimi retreated in his general direction. Running out just as the other 2 passed him he made a few handsigns "Shadow art: rain of darkness" as hundreds of needles flew into the crowd of naruto's who quickly moved very effectively dodging most of the needles, "Damn only took out 5 or 6" he muttered as he jumped forward lanching a kick at lee.

Lee easily blocking and using whirlwind sent Seta flying into the trees breaking through 2 thick branches and hearing a loud crack in his arm, "you'll have to do better then that to beat me" lee shouted as Seta stood up body flickering behind and throwing 3 kunai at him. in an instant lee was behind Seta again and launched him into the air with a leaf whirlwind.

"Looks like i've sustained too much damage" seta said as the clone disipated into smoke and the real Seta now ariving with Rizen just as Arimi dashed off got the information from the clone and quickly told Rizen that they whern't far behind and he barely delayed him at all but he had sent a clone earlier to inform the others.

OOC: lets say that u left right after i met up with u 2 to fight him since i dont feel like rewriting my post

[The Spectacular Professor]

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"]"...Yes! Complete!"

"Don't get too cocky, Jet," chided Shinori, "you know how our last jutsu invention exploded in our faces."

"Yeah, you're right," agreed Jetsu, "but I'm positive this will work!"

The sounds of a brutal clash filled the pairs ears.

"Looks like we get to test that theory sooner than we thought, Jet."

[CENTER]. . .[/CENTER]

"Well, that's what we get for training in the middle of nowhere, Shin."

"Looks like it," replied Shinori, "Well, at least we get in on some of the action. Let's see, Rock Lee. According to my Bingo Book, he's a class S criminal. I'm guessing a low class S, though. They still haven't updated the ranks for this stupid thing since all the criminals became Uchiha and the Kyuubi's underlings."

"Would you two jut get down here and fight!" exclaimed Rizen.

Shinori jumped down from the ledge. "Alright, I'm guessing we want no interference. That means Uzumaki's clones, as well. So if I can get the radius right, we can all gang up on him with no outside support or venue of escape. Let's do this. Flaming Arena!"

A giant dome of fire engulfed the battlefield. When the formation was finished, the only people inside the hemisphere were the assassination team and Lee.

"Nice going, Shin. That should make things a bit easier," remarked Draco.

"Well, it's like Rizen was probably about to say, he can still open gates. Don't let your guard down just because he's the only one."

Arimi looked at Shinori. "So what now?"

"Well, I understand you're a taijutsu specialist. I'm no slouch myself, so if we double team him along with everyone else pitching in, we may be able to take him down. But first, Jetsu and I have a new trick we want to play around with. Ready, Jet?"

"Ready, Shin! Earth!" shouted Jetsu.

"Fire!" yelled Shinori.

"Magma Clone no Jutsu!" they shouted in unison. At the sound of their voices, a mound of molten rock rose from the ground and appeared to stand up on its own. The material became more and more human-looking until...

"Gai-sensei?" uttered a confused Lee.

"How do you like that, Arimi-chan?" asked Jetsu, "We were trying for Captain Planet, but with only two elements, Maito Gai was all we could form."

"Cut the wisecracks, Jet," sighed Shinori, "If you think about it, it's a perfect shape. It should confuse Lee a bit, plus if he gets that famous hug lock on him, the clone will instantly regenerate into molten lava and bake him like a pastry. Now let's do this thing!"[/FONT]

[Akieen Cloud]

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Arimi stopped and sprinted towards the direction that Seta had come from and met face to face with Lee. Knowing this was going to be a challenge she applied a good amount of chakra from the beginning and dissappered with Lee, they reappeared on the edge of the forest exchanging blow for blow, Lee smiled and lept into a near by tree, sitting down she watched as he took off the weights on his legs increasing his speed. She cursed and took a deep breath and tried her best to keep up with him. She was able to keep an eye on him but when it came to attacking she was in trouble. He was all around her at once, she was able to get in one punch and gasped as he blocked it and kicked her in the stomach sending her into a rock not to far from them. Coughing she tried to regain her breath when a few Naruto clones came at her, disposing of them with some difficulty she was unprepared when Lee came at her again punching her in the mouth hard and busting her lip. She licked the blood and stood up only to find that Lee was infront of her and kicked her in the stomach, she screamed as she heard and felt ribs break. Sliding on the ground she looked up and took a deep breath.
"Damnit...they had better hurry."
She gasped as Lee appeared behind her narrowly dodging the attack she ran toward an open clearing and cursed as he showed up as if waiting on her.
"I'm in trouble..."
She let out a scream as Lee grabbed her hair before she could run and pulled her down, he pulled his arm back and punched her in the stomach knocking her out.
"The only woman among the men you travel with, you'll make adaquit leverage, though I know we won't need it."
Lee picked her up and threw her over his shoulder and began to walk back to the waterfall.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[Draco]

Draco was at the back of the village and didnt find Arimi. Hearing distant shouting Draco started running back to camp to get his weapons when a bunch of clones of some guy in an orange jump suit.

Draco: "Who are you?"

Clones: "We are the Uzumaki army!"

Draco was confused? Studing the clones, he noted that their was too many to fight hand to hand. He needed his weapons. He might as well try to talk his way out of it. If it doesnt work, it would give more time for the others to link up.

Draco: "Ok, is their something I can help you with? Im just a travling person, you sure you dont have the right person?"

Clones: "We are looking for a group of misfit ninjas that killed someone earlier today. Would you know anyone?"

Draco looked at them guessing they already knew who his teammates where and him. Draco pointed towards the center of the pack.

Draco: "You, where you spying on me? Or where you spying on my teammates.?"

Clones: "So your one of the ninja that killed Kisame. You dont look like the typewho would last 2 seconds with him no less the real Naruto Uzimaki!"

Draco: "I dont need my swords to defeat clones! [COLOR="Red"]I better hurry, If I am to prove to Rizen Im a valuable member of this team, I better go link up![/COLOR]"

Draco did 7 signs and said..... WINDS RAMPAGE!

The wind picked soo much debree and the clones that they all disappeared. After that he ran back to camp and picked only Dilo up an ran towards the sound of Arimi screaming.

Draco: "I hope Im not too late!"

Draco leaps onto a tree when he saw some guy in a unitard carring Arimi away.

Draco: "Oh no you dont! Winds Ramape!"

Dracos technique didnt do much cause their wasnt anything for it to use but at least it made the guy drop Arimi.

Draco: "Arimi! Dont move, I'll be with you in a minute. Now where did that guy go?"
