Kirigakure Acts Out.
 
 
 
Misaki: -Kunai in the door with note attached had become the norm for Squad 1, Misaki often did so, even to her own sister, when they had a Mission it was simple and quick and she didn't have to waste time talking to each of them, she could do so with them as a collective. Currently, after distributing said Kunai, Misaki sat atop the wall surrounding Konoha above the Front Gate Out Post, her eyes facing out towards the vast forest that surrounded them, her Byakugan active. Her white orbs swam with small Black patterns, making it obvious that her Dojutsu was slightly different to that of her other Clan Members. The late afternoon was warm, the cool breeze that blew past her pale skin complimented the warmth that radiated off every surface. Surprisingly she had slept well last night in the confines of her house for the first time in a long while, she did not often sleep at home and preferred the forest or a roof top over a room with a bed. There was something so constricting about the whole thing that made her uncomfortable, she either had nightmares or was unable to sleep at all, this was probably due to the time in which she was held captive at a young age whilst on a High Ranked Mission. She remembered the time with such blinding clarity even now, the small room, the rough smelly bed that was barely big enough to hold her small frame and the constant torture that ensued as the Men who caught her tried to make her speak, she had returned home very battered and bruised. As Misaki sifted through these thoughts within her mind, like movies, her right hand absentmindedly retreated to her stomach, rubbing it gently as if she were a woman with Child, in fact she was thinking of the Nine Tail Fox that resided inside, the aid he had given her at the time. Though Kurama had been receptive and not rebelled against Misaki upon being placed within her, it had not helped their relationship, she had been scared of him for much of her young life and thus ignored him, this in turn had angered Kurama who had then attempted to force her, this cat and mouse relationship had damaged them both. It was during her time as a prisoner that they had finally made a connection, both sick of the beatings and boredom, both not wanting to give in, both so much stronger than they made out to be, with his help she had escaped and made it home, from that moment forward they hadn't had any problems.... Aside from both being stubborn. The Red Haired Hyuga allowed herself a small smile as she recalled the last time they had spoken, two nights previous, and his complaining about the lack of action, his complaining of Yori and her actions against him. In the cool, almost Evening, air Misaki lifted her soft featured face to the heavens and wondered if she'd ever meet the young Missing-Nin Hozuki again and, if she did, whether he would try and kill her again or not, she didn't know why she was thinking about him at a time like this. She shook her head and turned back to face the Village behind her, today she wore a simple black mesh singlet and her wrap around Black Shinobi Skirt over her half thigh leggings, her ANBU mask in the pouch connected to the small of her back along with her usual set of Ninja Tools. She sighed gently as she scanned the Village waiting for Genin whom of which would be arriving in exactly 5 minutes, 4pm, as the note had ordered they should.- 
 
 
Grey: {GS} Another kunai on the door for Grey Shirogane, it must be another mission received from Misaki-cahn. This was such a commonality for her to do that he needed not question who it was from. Grey got dressed up in his usual pants and tabi, his t-shirt with sewn in sleeves to make it into a long sleeve as well as his red beast-tooth necklace. The teal haired genin was getting ready to get off on this mission as quickly as possible. He grabbed his pouches of explosive tags and shuriken, fastening them to the back of his pants while sliding kunai into the pockets on the sides of his pants. He moved from his room to the weapons storage rack within his home. Many Shirogane Puppet Walkers and regular puppets were stored here, though he came here for his special weapon, Kagidzume. Grey had been practicing with the use of Kagidzume as of late, so much that his means of tying his wires together strategicly got him a nickname from certain ANBU members who watched Grey like a hawk, Stitch. Though Hangman would be what his nickname would become after he became a chunin, but that's a story for the future folks (which would later in his ninja career become Hangman's Tailor) for his promising fighting style and that the Shirogane had once rebeled against the Leaf Village. It was a double-edged stigma for Grey, try to be a different Shirogane without seeming like he was going to attack the village. He put on the spool, gloves and finger coverings of Kagidzume and left for the front door of the Shirogane family home. Grey sighed and grabbed his signature brown hooded cloak with sleeves, slipping it on and putting the hood up. To others in the village, they knew it was Grey but they also knew that it was a part of the showmanship that came from the intimidating and fearsome possibilities that came with his weapon and his level of intellgience when the two were combined. No seriously folks, this kid has cut down trees without lifting an arm, he had to lift a finger to do it because how else do you use a weapon that is nothing but razor sharp extra durable piano wire? But I digress, time for the next character in this section of the story, I'm going on coffee break. {GS}
 
 
Miyuki: Miyuki had been taking a nap to reward herself for the training she had been doing the past couple of days, sleeping in her casual wear rather than PJs because she didn't feel like getting changed at the time. However, in her dreams, nightmares ensued, bringing her back to the mission, to when she killed for the first time, though in this land of dreams it was much more brutalized by the visionary power of the mind. She had simply been moing through a crowd and suddenly people were coughing up blood when she touched them, she looked down and saw she had her palm on their stomachs, as she became upset and was about to scream, the thud of a kunai awoke her from her hell as cold beads of sweat dripped down her face. She walked over to the door to read the note that she was sure was from her sister, regulating her own breathing to calm her down before switching over to her typcal missionwear, a mesh undersuit with a top and skirt. After those were on she grabbed her ninja tools and her katana, making sure they were secured to her person as she nodded slightly to herself. The nightmares still on her mind she spoke to herself as she put on her standard shinobi sandals and as she headed towards the front of the village. On arrival, she would most likely look like she was doing fine, well, to everyone that didn't know how to read her perfectly
 
 
Daisuke: -Afternoon was quickly approaching evening, shown by both the slowly setting sun and the warmth that was occasionally interrupted by soothingly cold breezes. While the outside world was experiencing the rare comfortable weather, I had simply been sitting at my dining table, eating the dinner that I had prepared only moments ago. I was wearing a rather simple casual outfit, which consisted of a green floral patterned kosode with black trim on the ends of the sleeves and collar, a black hakama, a light green obi, and black geta. Underneath this outfit, my torso was wrapped completely in white bandages. I was not injured or anything however, but simply wore them as one would wear a shirt. The food that I had prepared was rather simple as well, being just a bowl of pork ramen and wasabi sashimi. I ate the meal in relative silence, which had suddenly become the norm after my recent mission, in which I’d taken my first lives. The thoughts came to me more strongly when I took bites of the meat, where flashes of spraying blood and chunks of flesh invaded my mind, making the simple act of eating put me on the verge of vomiting. It took some time to finish the meal, which I forced myself to eat completely so as to naturally get my nutrients, allowing me to finally stand from the table and toss my dishes into the sink, not quite in the mood to wash them. Before I could even get back to my bedroom to lay down though, I heard a thunk upon my front door, much like the noise I’d heard upon my bedroom door the night of the mission. I shook my head in an attempt to shake away the thoughts, knowing that the thunk was likely our next mission notice. With a heavy sigh, I made my way to the door, passing my a mirror in the main room of the house, revealing eyes that were dull and grey, looking more like the eyes of a dead fish than those of a young man. My eyes were of course brown and not grey, but the dead look upon my face was almost like a genjutsu, projecting the image of a lack of color and life. My eyes also seemed to droop down lazily along with the rest of the features upon my white face, which had grown rather pale in the recent days. I opened my front door and removed the kunai and note, closed the door, and walked back to my bedroom. I opened and closed the door behind me, proceeding to toss the kunai and note onto my bed as I knelt over and opened the wooden chest at the foot of my bed, which contained all of my ninja equipment. After confirming everything I needed was there, I slowly stripped off my clothes and tossed them to the side, before finally reaching down into the chest to start putting my ninja outfit together. I quickly slipped into my black shinobi pants, which were standard issue, followed by my black open-toed shinobi boots, which were as well. I wrapped a long stretch of white bandages around my upper right thigh, fastened my black tool box around my right leg atop the bandages, threw the red cloth sash around my waist, fastened my black belt around my waist as well, slipped my black tool pouch on the back of the belt along with two small jutsu scrolls on the right side of the belt at my hip, and slid my open-ended black sheath through the belt. An open-ended sheath was a rather stupid idea to almost every other person, but for me, it had a purpose. The last two items in my equipment chest were two short Chokuto, only being about 2 and a half feet long, with a 2 foot blade and 6 inch hilt. The sheath was exactly 4 feet long, and when each of the Chokuto had been inserted to both of the open ends, the tips of the blade met perfectly as the Chokuto were locked in place in the sheath. With my equipment handled, I closed the box, and walked over to my dresser, opening the first drawer. There were several rolls of bandages inside, where one of them was still stained with a dark red fluid that had once washed over it. It was torn in many places as well, having eventually fallen apart under the rain of blood and water. I bit my lip, barely able to stop before blood was drawn, and grabbed the roll farthest away to the left, quickly wrapping it around my torso, arms, and neck, as if an incredible angry was driving me to hurry. With that done, I simply closed the drawer and grabbed the Misaki-sensei’s kunai from my bed, before finally heading off through my front door, taking the long route instead of my usual hop out of the window, still thinking heavily about the deaths I was directly part of. I stopped for a moment after exiting my house and closing my front door behind me. After taking a moment to check my tools, having forgot to when I put the pouch and tool box on, I confirmed that the pouch had 2 kunai, 2 smoke bombs, a paper bomb, and 6 makibishi. Of course, there were multiple inside pockets so that nothing got ripped or mixed up. The bombs where in one pocket, while the makibishi were in another. The kunai were in two little holsters above both of the pockets, keeping them in easy reach. The tool box on my leg had the remaining 3 kunai, as well as 10 shuriken. Like the pouch, they were in separate areas of the box as well. With the tools confirmed, I finally started going to the main gate, taking a straight line toward it from the rooftops, pushing myself to hurry so as not to anger Misaki-sensei. I would take just a few minutes to arrive, not even paying attention to who had arrived. I simply walked directly toward Misaki-sensei, with her kunai still in my hand, before reaching out and attempting to hand it to her, after which I would stand there, at least trying to look like I was alright, waiting for the mission to be presented to us. In truth I just wanted to get it over with, but deep in my mind, I hoped that this mission may finally free my mind of the burden and guilt over having killed, even though they were only rogues that died at my hands.-
 
 
Misaki: -In the orange haze her students arrived one by one, her eyes traveled instantly to her sister, Miyuki, who was putting on her bravest face, it was only to be expected after their last harrowing Mission. Killing was something Misaki had gotten used to, many of her Missions involved her taking peoples lives and, as she had grown, she had become accustomed to it. perhaps it was sad, or perhaps it was simply how all Shinobi adapted to Shinobi life, in the grand scheme of things it was kill or be killed and although she lived by that rule it did not mean she enjoyed it. She did not kill for herself, she survived to protect those she loved, so that the arms of her abilities could stretch out like barriers around those of the Village Hidden in the Leaves. Once they had assembled Misaki dropped to the dirt ground below with a small thud, a light dusting of dirt flew up around her body due to the impact of her landing, she tilted her head to the side and took a step forward, her orbs watching them carefully. Though things had been rushed she had grown to enjoy her Genin, for the time being, more Training would be in order before the Chunin Exams but that could wait, they were getting experience on the field which was just as beneficial. "We'll be traveling quite a distance" She began without greeting them, they didn't look in the mood for pleasantries "We'll also likely be fighting Shinobi from Kirigakure who have been causing issues on our border with the Wood Country, I hope you've all had enough time to rest from our last Mission" Her eyes looked pointedly at Miyuki, after all her sister had been very worn out by the end of their travels. Turning away she lifted her right thumb to her mouth and bit down, her snow white teeth bit through her porcelain skin with ease, a small crimson pool began to appear where she had bitten, without wasting time she slammed her hand down on the ground, not bothering to utter the Summoning Jutsu as words were not needed. Once done an Arctic Fox appeared, he was around average height and looked up at Misaki with bright blue eyes that shimmered in the ever receding sunlight "You called? Misa-Chan" His voice was a nice medium pitch that seemed to echo around the place like wind chimes, his notes perfect and placed, his diction unfailing. Misaki nodded once to him and remained crouched down near his height, her milky orbs staring into his blue ones, the stare was one of familiarity and friendship, she allowed a small smile to slip onto her plump, pink lips. "We're going on a Mission and I'd like you to lead, if that's okay Osaki, to the Border between The Land of Fire and Wood Country" She stood to address her student as the Fox nodded once "Miyuki, you will be in front behind Osaki, Daisuke and Grey take the middle, I will follow up the rear, we will stay in this formation until I say otherwise" She spoke swiftly and then waited patiently for them to head off. Osaki turned his head to look at Miyuki "You ready kid?" He asked his eyes focused on her. Oksaki seemed ready to launch into the cool Evening air only to stop in his tracks and turn, swiftly placing himself between Daisuke's back and the hard ground as he toppled backwards, fainting. Osaki caught him on his back and grunted slightly under his weight, Misaki was not far behind him as she picked Daisuke up into her arms and looked down at him, he had broken out in a sweat and was breathing heavily even in his comatose state, Misaki's eyes turned to the men at the outpost and she beckoned one towards her. She pointed at the Guard who had come over to her left "Take Daisuke to the Hospital". The man nodded once and retrieved the boy from her arms before disappearing in a puff of grey smoke. Deep down Misaki was worried and her eyes glazed over with the horrid thoughts of what her pupil must be enduring, as most Mentors she blamed herself mentally slapping herself as she turned back to Miyuki and Grey. "It will just be us now, same formation".-
 
 
Grey: {GS} "I have had enough time to rest since last time Misa-Chan, thank you for asking." Grey stopped and listened to his sensei talk about where they were going and who they were going to be up against. Kiri-nin? But they were on good terms with Konohagakure and the other hidden villages weren't they? Were these ninja sanctioned by Kirigakure, or were they rogues like before? This did not augur well for Grey, Miyuki, and Daisuke as well, because he just fainted then and there and had to be carried off. All the training and the trauma from the mission must be taking its toll on him. Grey was training hard himself, so much so that his skill with Kagidzume had earned him a nickname amongst the ANBU ninja that watched him and some jounin around the village, and that was Stitch (Grey would later become known as Hangman, and then The Hangman's Tailor eventually, but that was a story for another day). When the guard took Daisuke, Grey stood and waited. Grey shuddered at the thought of going to fight against Kirigakurian Ninja, they were in the old mindset of the Bloody Mist last he heard, and they were brutal efficient killers, hopefully they wouldn't be super skilled ninja. Just to be safe, Grey was going to be using his Woven Armor technique after his spar with Daisuke. At least Miyuki and Grey understood each other better and could pick up on each others' actions and thoughts in the middle of battle after spending more time together. "You ready Miyuki?" Grey asked without turning to look at her, he wanted to keep his composure and anyone from seeing him trembling beneath his cloak. He wasn't frightened, he was just very tense about this situation right now. {GS}
 
 
Miyuki: She watched as Daisuke suddenly fell to the ground, her off-white eyes going somewhat wide from the suddeness of the event, and the speed at which it was taken care of. Taking that into account, brought up some thigns in her mind and she had begun sorting through her mind, the thoughts of the last mission, and what she had to do. She knew this mission would be no different, if not more difficult than the last considering the fact that her siste was now even using a summoning as extra back-up. Rather than being worried though, she used it as a moment, to at least somewhat accept the fact that she would have to do this her entire life as a shinobi, to kill or to be killed. As much as she didn't want to accept that, she would eventually have to or die considering. Her eyes then met Osaki's, determination and the will of fire burning in hers as she nodded slightly. She found within herself, that she had the will and the drive to overcome anything ahead of them. "I am." She said to the fox before looking back at her familiar teammate, Grey with a soft smile and nod. Was she still shaken from that previous mission? Completely. Was she going to let that affect her to the point that something could happen to her teammates and possibly put them in jeapordy? She would rather give her life than to let that happen. "So then, we're going to most likely be fighting ninja from another village." She said in a very low tone, most likely inaudible to just about everyone, well, except for the fox who she was sure had much better hearing than any human. 
 
 
Misaki: -Squad 1 traveled at a relatively swift pace to their Mission's location, Misaki ever mindful that the speed she could keep for long periods of travel were not the same as that of her Genin. The setting sun glittered through the cracks in the branches and leaves of the trees that surrounded them, moving as they landed upon branches and scattering like tiny fireflies. Misaki watched them as they traveled her senses and sight allowing her to not pay full attention, the sounds of their feet hitting the bark with small thuds was the only noise around them as the world darkened, to Misaki it was like music, she counted in her head the seconds between each thud. Daisuke played on her mind, their last Mission and the horrors that had unfolded, had it all been to much? They had done so well and yet they seemed so fragile, she wasn't sure if it was truly how things were or if it was just her caring nature that forced herself to see that side of things. The canopy of leaves above them made the Forest become darker before the day had done so and as it did Misaki lifted her head and looked forward, they were coming up to the end of the Forest, soon they would be moving in nothing be fields, they would be open to attack. She dropped down slowly, landing in the knee high grass and shifting her view from side to side as they began to run, Osaki ahead of them showing no signs that he had heard or suspected any other people around them. The Red Hyuga activated her Byakugan silently, the grass around them was lush and soft, it slipped past the tips of her fingers like silk and made her suddenly miss her own bed and home, it felt like it had been forever since she'd slept there, since she'd slept anywhere comfortable, it seemed Missions were never ending as of late. Not only that, but the Chunin Exams would be soon, her eyes fell on the two Genin in front of her, were they ready to try? It wasn't in her nature to push them and yet she felt they had grown enough to try is they so desired it. Time and scenery seemed to past much faster during their run through the fields and soon the reached the border in which their Mission was situated, it was silent, the moon was high in the sky shimmering like Byakugan of which Misaki wielded, solid is a black blanket of stars. The only other light was several that shone in the Village in the distance, this Village marked the Border between the Land of Fire and the Wood Country, it was small and only existed as a port between Kirigakure and the Land of Fire, it had been build during the 4th Shinobi War for use during and after, in the time of peace, oh how times had changed. "Stop" Was all Misaki uttered as she stationed herself between them and the Village, Osaki at her side, she began to scan ahead looking for anyone awake and walking about the streets.-
 
 
Grey: {GS} Grey followed after Miyuki and Osaki, wishing that Daisuke had not passed out and gotten taken away before they even got out of the gates. Thankfully however, they were still a good team with a member down, though they would need to be all the more vigilent on the matter. Grey leapt from branch to branch until they reached the destination of the village whose name he did not know. But everyone has their faults, Grey's happened to be names and common phrases and maps. When he landed and his sensei had uttered to them stop, he had to flail and grab onto a hanging branch over his head to make sure that he didn't fall as he was prepared to jump forward when they were given the order to halt. He sighed in relief and swung backwards onto the branch that he had nearly jumped and fallen from. He knew what was going on here, the reconaissance utilizing the Byakugan. Grey patiently waited within the branches, clenching and unclenching his hands in anticipation of what was going to happen, "Do you see anything yet Misa-chan?" Grey whispered over to her while remaining up in the branches. {GS}
 
 
Miyuki: As the squad was making their way to their destination, Miyuki continued to ponder different things, the last mission, not showing up too often, but more of what the plans would be for this mission. With the information they had, Kirigakure ninja were known for their skills with kenjutsu and their typical affinities for water, and ice release style jutsu. Keeping that in mind, she wondered if her wind jutsu would be able to do much considering the only precise jutsu she had learned were the Air Bullets. Her thoughts were silence however at the sudden stop of Osaki, and the order from her sister, looking over at her sister, she noticed the signs of the activated Byakugan and nodded. Her sister was being extremely cautious, which gave her mixed feelings, happy that her sister was the one ensuring their safety, yet nervous in the sense that she seemed to be on much higher alert than the last mission.
 
 
Misaki: -Misaki's eyes were sharp, they missed nothing, they were currently far enough away, hidden behind bushes within the field, to see anyone oncoming regardless of direction, there was no one behind them, of that Misaki was sure, but her eyes had deduced otherwise from the front. The white orbs mixed with blotches of black seemed to harden and she whispered to her pupils quickly at a level that only they could hear her "Listen to me both of, there are currently 3 Shinobi ahead of us, around half a kilometer away (500 meters) I do not know their skills but I will do my best to aid both of you". They had been sensed, as Misaki knew they would eventually, whilst her movements were precise and silent her pupils were void of that luxury, as a mentor it was something you had to deal with. Her voice still at the same level she continued, conveying what was happening before any Shinobi or Clones could get close "To my left is a young Girl and an Older Male, she appears to have diverted right making Grey her opponent, the Male is still coming for me, Miyuki to your right is a young Male who seems to not be involved with them he's made 3 clones who are heading your way" She spoke to her sister, though she knew she would have already seen them and be prepared. Misaki's hand moved so quickly that it appeared to not have moved at all, her ANBU mask was now on her face, a way to cover her Dojutsu, and she had fallen into a crouch "Osaki, aid them" were Misaki's last words, the older Male was almost upon her, the young Female was almost upon Grey. She had no way of knowing what skills they possessed and so could not formulate a plan to combat them effectively, with her perception it would not take long to do but it would be difficult to fill her Genin in, instead she would have to fight and hope that they watched each other's backs, currently their opponents were both in front of them which would, possibly, make it two against two. As the female got closer Misaki soon realized that neither of them had headbands, Rogue or otherwise whilst the lone younger Male seemed to be sporting a Hidden Mist one, were they working together or did they have different goals? It wasn't in Misaki's nature to assume. She had no more time to think and thus disappeared from view to appear behind the man who spun around swiftly and looked at her, she was a mere 30 meters from her last location, her Genin still in her sights as Osaki snarled ready to fight with them, Osaki possessed Lightning style which was why Misaki had picked him to summon, he stood between the two Genin. The man she was facing wasted little time in attacking and flew forwards engaging in hand to hand combat, Misaki was ready, she parried all of his punches and kicks flipping backwards twice and then appearing behind him again, this time he was ready, she didn't even see his Handseal's, he breathed in and then breathed out utilizing his Fire Style, 3 Large Fireballs flew at her one after the other, luckily she had positioned herself so that any attacks he did throw would not go near her Genin whether she moved or not, she dodged them swiftly, but he had been ready for her swift movement and blew another on to his right, her left, it missed her, just, burning the back of her shirt and tips of her hair, she shook her head to make sure the fire was extinguished, he was Jounin level easily, if not higher. "Who are you?" She narrowed her eyes at him in the dark. He was quite visible to her, especially during his Fireball attacks as they illuminated his face, he looked slightly older than her, his Grey hair hung down the sides of his head and forehead, not to short and not to long, his eyes a dim hazel, small red fang like lines protruded from the side of either eye and hung slightly on the tops of his cheeks. His attire was not much to be sniffed at, he wore baggy Shinobi pants and an open black Hakama top with Grey trimming, the top underneath was a thin brown, thin enough to show the muscles of his body. Over the top was a leather X which attached the holsters of his two Daggers to his back, which also crossed over forming yet another X as the sheathed blades crossed paths. Various pouches and Kunai hung upon his person, the pouches containing much the same tools as Misaki's own Pouch, something she had made sure to note whilst looking him over as he ran towards them. he did not respond to her question when she spoke and instead stood still looking at her from a far "You're from The Leaf" Was all he said, his voice was not hateful, it was a statement, with done he ran towards her once again.-
 
 
Grey: {GS} ALready under attack? They either had some sort of pressure alarm or a sensor type to get the locations of Grey and the rest of his team so easily. The moment that Misa-chan warned them of what was coming, Grey spread his legs out and bent his knees a little, preparing for action with his arms crossed over his chest and fingers bent like he was going to scratch someone. DOing this, he got wires out and at the ready for the blue haired female who had a katana ready for Grey and speed that was a cut above the rest. While Grey spread his arms out and let his wires whip out at her, she seemed to be able to sense them and deflected each and every wire while Grey swung his arms to and fro, trying to hit the girl from any side with his wires. So she was the sensor type that he thought that they had employed. Grey pulled wires back to him while keeping up the assault with several others against the enemy ninja, who was very fast with that katana even in one hand. With wires back at his person, he got out three kunai and clapped his hands together after throwing them at the girl, "Gale Palm!" A gust of wind caught the kunai and wires, sending them like spears with great force at the female. She simply countered by pushing the non sped up wires back with her katana and performed the dragon, tiger and hare handseals and uttered [Water Release: Wild Water Wave!] The girl held her free hand to her mouth, took a quick deep breath and spewed out a violent torrent of water into Grey's wires and kunai. This pushed the kunai away, and weighed down his wires while he got blasted back into the bushes. After rolling several feet, Grey came to a stop on his hands and knees, looking up to the sight of the blue haired sword wielder coming down for his neck with the katana. Grey swung his right arm up at her, forming a rhombus shaped shield of wires int he air by pumping chakra through his arm and to his wires, "Woven Shield!" With the girl's katana pushed back and her eyes focused on the glinting rhombus in the air, he had time to quickly weave together his wires into a plane axe, "Woven Axe." As soon as it was in his hands, he rushed forward with the axe in both of his hands, clashing with the girl and letting her stronger body and dwonward swing shove him to the water slicked ground, sliding through the mud along his cloak bpast her legs, taking out a kunai and stabbing it into the side of her leg on his way past her and up to his feet. Grey ran off out into the opening, swinging his left arm and jerking it back toward himself at the joint of his elbow, clenching his fingers along the way to circle wires around two trees and garrote them through and through, getting them to slide and topple over toward the enemy shinobi, who of course was fast enough and clashing weapons with Grey right away. This went on, the two of them clashing weapons together and Grey using his free wires to attack her or shield himself. He so wanted to back up his teammates, but this girl was relentless! {GS}
 
 
Miyuki: Miyuki had activated her Byakugan, the moment that she had noticed an advance towards her location, her Byakugan revealing that the clones in front of her were nothing but haze clones and nothing to worry about at the current point in time considering that they literally didn't exist, they were ethereal, they could not be touched, nor could she touch them, instead she focused on quickly moving to aide her ally due to her opponent's reluctants to make an approach towards her. As she turned, she noticed Grey was in a weapon lock with a female ninja, he seemed to be doing rather well, but for now she would close the distance and provide any back-up support if needed, perching herself on a tree hidden away as to keep a vantage point on the battle. Though her focus was on her Grey, she couldn't help but wonder how her sister was doing, hoping that she'd still be in range of Miyuki's own byakugan in order to find her and check up on her.
 
 
Misaki: -The grey haired mans fists flew towards her, she was alert now and aware that she could counter his Katon with her own Suiton, or the little that she knew, she still had the upper hand with him not knowing about the Dojutsu hidden underneath her ANBU Mask. His right fist flew towards her and she blocked it by lifting her left hand, Index and Middle finger extended to make impact, and pushing it away from her, as she did so she allowed a surge of Chakra to burst forth and hit the Chakra point several inches below his wrist. His right arm flew to the side and down as he let out a gasp and pulled it back to his side, she did not allow herself to rest and moved back several paces in the lush grass of the field, eyes trained on him. Hazel orbs gazed curiously at her as he lifted his arm and inspected it, only to find a small bruise and little else, he flexed his wrist several times and stretched his fingers as his mind raced to understand what was occurring. The soft light of the moon shone down upon his head, blending with his grey hair to perfection and making him look almost angelic, Misaki couldn't understand why someone like him was attacking them, what were they hoping to gain? The Kiri Ninja, now located behind him due to their movements, had finally begun to creep towards Miyuki, Misaki held in a small snort, as if he could sneak up on her. "You're interesting" The man's words cut through the air between them like a knife, it was the same calm and factual voice as before, his hazel eyes shimmered gently and a small smile crept onto his face. To Misaki's surprise it wasn't a smile containing malice or hatred, it was playful, she tilted her head slightly to the left and furrowed her eyebrows in confusion, was he having fun? Before she could think on it to much longer he was upon her again and this time he had the upper hand, she'd been distracted by his smile, was that his tactic? He moved swiftly, not as fast as her, but due to her distraction she didn't have time to counter, his fist slammed hard into her stomach and sent her flying several feet back, she spun as well as she could and landed shakily on her feet, she did not have time to recover. His hands and feet came flying at her and they were at blows again, but something else was bothering her, the punch he had landed had been so weak, by the looks of him knocking her out or crippling her would not be a problem for someone as strong as him, but he hadn't and why had he gone for the stomach and not her face? As his left foot came at her she spun and formed the Tiger Seal before disappearing completely from view and appearing directly behind him, utilizing her mastery in the Body Flicker Technique to do so, her bosom a mere inch from his back she lifted her hand, palm open, and slammed it hard against his back Chakra erupting from her Tenketsu points, Vacuum Palm. He went flying forward and landed face down 10 meters away, groaning and grumbling as he did so before pushing himself back up. "You're pretty quick" He spoke spitting dirt and grass from his mouth, "For a girl" his eyes met hers and flashed with a teasing glint. What was up with this asshole?-
 
 
Grey: {GS} Grey was still deadlocked with this sword jockey from before. He so very much did not want to keep doing this, his stamina draining slowly the longer he used his axe. It got so bad with this girl relentlessly attacking him with her katana that he had to unravel his axe and resort to wrapping his arms and stomach with his wires, forming a dragon handseal to tighten the wires around himself, catching her katana on his wires around his stomach. Some blood was drawn, but her katana was deflected by his wires and they glinted around his body. Grey swung his right wire wrapped arm down into the katana against the flat of the blade and broke off the sharp tip of it and several inches down, sending a chunk of that weapon into the bushes. [Damn you! Stop playing games and fight me like a shinobi] Grey remained silent and sighed, unwrapping himself from his wires and then formed the tiger handseal, and in a plume of smoke and leaves, Grey was up into the branches several dozen feet away with the aide of the Body Flicker Technique. He had to act fast, that girl could sense where he was and where his wires usually were, but only when he pumped chakra through them. This gave him an idea and while crouched down in the branches of the trees, he caught wires between his teeth and finger coverings, starting to manuver his arms and body around to weave his wires around the trees and branches like a spider web in preparation for the enemy ninja to come after him. When she finally did, she was coming at him from below. Grey jumped backwards, pulling his wires with him as she went upwards into the net that he had created, his downward motion pulling the wires taut and causing them to snap inward and catch the girl by her dominant hand at the wrist and cut straight through it, bringing branches and trees down with her as she fell to the ground holding her now stump of a wrist in pain and screaming. Grey moved his wires around and shielded her from the falling debris and let her sit there still alive but in pain, "Sorry, but you were keeping me from my job, just go home and don't try to attack me again, I really don't feel like killing anyone right now." Grey rushed off toward Miyuki, calling his wires back in toward himself and into the spool, his cloak hood coming off with the speed he was running at, "You doing okay Miyuki?!" He called out to his teammate. {GS}
 
 
Lagi: =Lagi found himself not far off in the distance as he watched the young woman begin to perch herself amongst a tree branch. The moment she did so she would find that lagi would approach her with little hesitation. His lips would break into a soft smirk as he would pour his chakra into the air around him allowing him to generate a small bit of water within his general area and with that he would create several 3 inch wide disk before sending them in the young woman’s direction. Had she chosen to leap down from the branch she had perched on Lagi would bolt towards her in an attempt to catch her off guard with a single thrust using the pommel of his sword. Had this proven to be successful he would simply wait to see the woman’s reaction with his physique poised to retaliate at any moment.=
 
 
Miyuki: Miyuki watched Grey's fight for a moment from her position in the trees she had taken after seeing through the haze clones, considering they didn't exist, neither did their tenketsu points, which made it a dead give-away that they were fake. Having her byakugan active, even though she was still a decent distance away in the trees, she was able ot catch site of the Kirigakure ninja that was approaching her position. Sighing softly at the brash attempt she made a large amount of distance between them by jumping strongly off the limb and using her Body Flicker technique to put her far out into the field, a good thirty to forty metres from her last position, which enabled her to still fully see any approach towards her position. Seeing that once again she was being rushed, she did what she could not to roll her eyes and waited with her hands out, ready to unleash Eight trigrams: 32 palm as soon as the male stepped within her range. If he were to stop his frontal assault, she would use Wind relase: Air bullets and fire five extremely fast, extremly hard hitting bullets of air directly towards his location which she would follow as they advanced towards him, which would force him into a defensive, most likely leaving him open for a strike from the basic gentle fist technique of palm bottom.
 
 
Misaki: -"You can't know many decent girls then" Misaki seethed her eyes narrowing in his direction, she hadn't realized it at that point but their arguing was childish and the moves they were performing were by no means lethal, they were quite literally play fighting. If she had taken a moment to survey the situation she would have realized just how stupid she was being and begun to take things seriously, but as it was this was not the case. "You're right, I don't" He brushed his front off and looked back up at her before running a hand through his hair and shaking dirt out of his clothes "So what are you guys doing here anyway?" He asked as if they had been having a casual conversation this whole time. If Misaki's rage were a color it would currently be the same shade as her mid back length Crimson hair that was now flying at all angles due to the wind, the hair tie having been ripped off during their scuffle. "Stopping Shinobi from ruining our Villages and land" She said bending into a crouch once again and lifting her arms open palmed in front of her body, her Gentle Fist Stance, her right hand broke it's formation and lifted to her face, removing her mask and shoving it in the pouch at the small of her back. His hazel orbs widened as he drank her in, she was pretty there was no denying it and those eyes, those moon like eyes that seemed to shimmer with knowledge even in the dim light, what were those eyes? He blinked once and then twice, before his second blink could finish she was upon him aiming a strike to every area she could find, he struggled to keep up with her speed, and this was not even her full capability. "You..... Must...... Have" He spoke between hits "The..... Wrong..... Idea", she landed a hit on his right shoulder and he fell backwards several paces before controlling his movements and lifting his arm back up, half mast, he'd been injured. "Wrong idea?" She tilted her head as she spoke and he nodded holding up his hands in front of his body and spreading them out in a helpless manner "We live here" was his reply. Misaki was taken aback by his response her eyes widening, "You what? Why didn't you say so? Why are you attacking us?!" Now she was even more furious, why the hell had they just run up and attacked them like they were enemies. "We've been attacked a lot lately, excuse us for sensing unfamiliar Shinobi and acting on instinct", he glared back at her. In the darkness of the night, under the sparkling sky and in the cool breeze, it suddenly all made sense in Misaki's mind, did that mean that this male and the younger Female had stopped all the Kiri Nin? That the young Kiri Nin her sister was now fighting was the only one left? Against her better judgement Misaki lowered her hands and looked him over once again, to make sure she didn't see any signs that he would attack once she had taken her eyes of him, once done she turned to walk back to Grey and her sister, she would need to tell Grey to stop fighting the young Female as she was not a threat. She turned her back to the strange man, he called out to her "Hey! Wait up man" He was soon at her side, his eyes on her with a raised eyebrow "You just beat me up then leave me behind when you realize I'm a friend? Man, Konoha Females are cold, huh?", after he spoke she gave him a sideways glance that quickly shut him up before she continued walking. It was only as she stopped concentrating on him that she looked ahead and saw the carnage that her student had created, her eyes widened in horror "Oh.... no" She spoke gently, she'd stopped moving and hadn't noticed, "I-I-I'm so sorry..." She trailed off. The young girl that Grey had been fighting now knelt on the ground clutching her stump limb, due to the severity blood was not pouring from the wound by dripping and pooling around her knees, it was then that the screaming of agony came, it hit her ears and caused her pain to hear. "What's happening?" The male looked around frantically trying to find his comrade, Misaki had already shot off ahead of him to her location, all he would hear was the rushing of wind and grass and the faint echo of her voice "This is all my fault", a single tear fell from her cheek and flew back dropping on the grass near his feet. What had she done?-
 
 
Grey: {GS} Grey hoped that the girl was okay while he walked away from her. He had no clue about the medical field or anatomy of how fast blood came out of a cut body. He just hoped that the sensor girl would be able to nurse her wound to stop bleeding and get a prosthetic at the worst. He really didn't want to kill anyone, he remembered the words of Kitamori Village's Elder when he had rescued the old man, 'Sometimes death has to happen, but it is up to you to determine if they die or not, and they is your mistake or your greatest choice lad.' Those words resounded in Grey's mind and he had come up with his own code of combat, that if he could immobilize or incapacitate a foe, he would not pursue to kill them, only to take a life in self defense or if they were an absolute criminal. Grey had no clue about if this girl was a criminal or not, but he had fought in self defense. While he was walking away, Grey stopped to think about what he had done in the past, the different lives he had already taken at a young age. They deserved it, they killed so many people, he kept telling himself that over and over. They were criminals, merciless killers who wanted to kill him and many more people. He kept trying to justify the Kitamori Mission in his head and found his hands shaking. It felt horrible to take a life, but relieving that they would not take any others. But he had to stop introspecting and rush to help Miyuki right now! So he gathered his composure and jumped to the trees, gathering up his tools and threading three wires through his three explosive tags as was a normal tactic of his. When he got within range of Miyuki, he flung his arms around and got one of his explosive tags in the path of her air bullet to get caught by the wind and blown toward her adversary, his other two tags getting speared into trees behind the enemy Kiri-ninja, blowing up their bark and sending woodchips at the guy while he maintained a decent distance to try fighting at range and let Miyuki handle the close range. "I got your back Miyuki!" {GS}
 
 
Lagi: =The moment she found herself releasing the bullets of air lagi would merely remove himself from their general direction with a simple bob and weave motion he had learned from Ling as he spun out of the way of both the explosive tag and the air bullets with ease. As he did so the girl would find that her advance would be met with a simple form of chakra control, with that Lagi would take up the stance of Ka Jig Khai. The moment he did so he would do the same as before and generate a small bit of water around his hand before throwing a hook with his right hand causing the water to shoot from in front of his hands in arching pattern aiming to strike the young woman upon her ribcage. Had this tactic proved to be successful the girl would find herself being launched across the open field do to the power he would have put behind the small torrent of water.=
 
 
Miyuki: Watching the flow of chara and the fact that a stance was being assumed, she had already figured out an attack was going to head her way, this was a simple fix considering her already current momentum, the radius of the attack not large enough to clip her as she used her momentum to slide under it, preparing another volley of air bullets within five metres of the male, making it nearly impossibly to dodge them due to their travel speed. If he managed to counter that somehow, she was in taijutsu range and kept her focus on defending herself and waiting for an opening, fully prepared to take down the ninja in front of her. He was fast, but with her incoming attack and the back-up she had on top of that, it was spelling the end for the ninja. From the corner of her eye, she also watched as a ball of lightning flew swiftly towards the Kiri ninja, wondering where it had come from, her question was answered by her own thoughts, Osaki, he had been there the entire time, apparently he wasn't going to intervene unless it was necessary, as to better get an idea of Misaki's younger sister. This, combined with her own attack, and whatever Grey was planning, was going to be a hell of a combination attack, covering at least three angles, if not more.
 
 
Misaki: -The girl was crying in agony as blood poured down her arm and to the growing pool near her knees, Misaki reached her and fell to her knees also, the blood stretched out and got on her clothes but she wasn't worried by it. "GREY! MIYUKI!" She yelled, her voice was shrill and hoarse, the few tears that had escaped her eyes had dried, the man reached her side long before her pupils, "Korini" He murmured moving closer to her and cradling her severed limb within his own hands. She was sobbing, the tears falling down her face and shirt, soaking it through, the cries from her mouth had subsided for the time being, "K-K-Kyo" She sobbed looking at the man. So his name was Kyo, for some reason it fit him, his grey hair was tousled from the wind and in this light she could finally see his finer features and the kindness behind them. "Do you have a Medical Ninja here?" She blurted out, her mind had been bank aside from the girls well being. "We do" he responded his Hazel eyes meeting her milky orbs, "But we will have to hurry". As Misaki's Genin approached her she stood with Kyo, Korini in his arms, and spoke to them and Osaki, "Osaki, lead them safely back to Konoha, I will return once I have made sure that this girl is safe. Grey, Miyuki, travel home swiftly the way we came, you'll meet ANBU on your way tell them everything here has been resolved". With that said Misaki disappeared with Kyo and Korini before they could argue with her.-
