Konoha Betrayal: Hoshigakure Opens

## Arc 1: Session 1: 1-23-16

Kaiiaki: - "What...what am I....doing...?" A small high pitched voice spoke from purple lips. But they did not belong to her anymore. They belonged to someone else. This grey-skinned body, with glittering skin and various fish scales covering parts of her skin. It wasn't really hers...was it..? Black eyes peered through the darkness surrounding her. Engulfing her. Suffocating her. ~What the hell is happening to me?!" Kaiiaki cried out. Her soprano voice echoeing off into the empty void. The screech no longer sounding like her voice. But sounded like a dying animal or nails scraping down a chalkboard. The agony pierced her body like a kunai. Sending ripples of pain throughout her chest cavitity. It made it difficult to breathe, and to move. "Kaiiaki...that's...me..." She said with a sudden realization. "And that was..." Kaiiaki's voice traveled off into the distance, floating across the void like a boat upon the water of a calm sea. A brief image of blood filled Kaiiaki's mind. The purple pastel hair that matched hers perfectly, matted with blood. Purple eyes begging...silently begging for help. For some sort of salvation that...would never come. All of a sudden, this image triggered an emotional response within Kaiiaki. Anger, no...fury made Kaiiaki scream at the image etched within her mind. "YOU WEAKLINGS!!" HOW COME YOU DIDN'T MAKE IT!!!! YOU LEFT ME MOTHER AND FATHER!!" After saying those words, an enraged scream broke out from between Kaiiaki's purple lips. And then, silence. Kaiiaki's black eyes popped open. Her body was lying upon the ground of the training grounds of Konoha. Had she fallen asleep here after working on perfecting another crystal jutsu? She must have. Her body lay upon the ground. Freshly covered with early morning dew. The sparkling water felt cool against her skin, and it soothed her scales with the refreshing feel of it. Yet, Kaiiaki couldn't shake the feeling of rage. It was building to a boiling point. A point to where she was going down a path of no return. She could feel it, but didn't care anymore. Kaiiaki pulled herself off the ground, just enough so that she was sitting on her knees in the training ground forest. The rage boiled off of her like water coming to a boil in a kettle. "My parents...were weak. That's why they were killed. But I refuse to suffer the same fate as them!" With a solid movement, Kaiiaki brought her right fist back, before releasing it and feeling the sting of pain as her fist impacted into the ground. The pain stunned her only momentarily. It did not take away the bitter feeling of rage in the pit of her stomach. "Copycat. Ragboy. Mute-man. What the hell do you think you're trying to accomplish you little weak fucks. You're just as weak as they are. You'll never survive. And I'll prove myself right if you dare to come see me..." Kaiiaki sat still, silently fuming to herself, daring anyone to come close in contact with her today.-

KaneTsumi:  -In the early hours of the morning right before the sun started to creep over the peaceful village of Konoha, Kane Rinha was walking towards the large circular shaped Hokage Tower that stood at the center of the village towering over the other buildings in height. Kane's once short spiked black and red hair was now disheveled and his jonin flask jacket was ripped at more than a few spots exposing his skin along with a few rips on his black shinobi pants. Once again in his life, he came face to face with death and narrowly escaped death's treacherous clutches from getting a hold of him, or at least for now. The images in his mind would forever play like a recorded memory that haunts him over and over again. There was rarely any people out this early in the morning, and it was mostly still dark with only a speck of light hinting in the sky, so no one took notice of the Rinha's presence as he walked slowly towards the Hokage Tower. Konoha had a strange calm, and yet mystifying atmosphere like something was a bit off but Kane couldn't grasp exactly what it was yet. He had the report written in a scroll in his hand of the results on the mission to investigate the where about of Cyrus Shinigami. Although, his mission was a success, he learned far more than what he was sent for. Kane nearly lost his life going after the S-Rank Hidden Shinobi who was in a lot of village's bingo book because of his deeds. And Kane knew it was only a matter of time before he encountered the individual once again now that he knows who he is. He wasn't suppose to go alone originally but strangely something interfered with his assigned partner to go on the mission with him from ever showing up. Despite this, he acquired the information needed for the Hokage and is now entering the large empty tower. While he was walking up the hallowed spiral stair case his soft foot steps echoed around the walls of the tower before he came to a stop in front of the door knocking twice before hearing the Hokage give him permission to enter. Once inside he nodded to the Hokage out of respect and handed him the scroll as the man dressed in the Hidden leaf robes and thin brimmed hat looked up from his desk and took the scroll opening it quickly, then reading the contents of what was within. He had a grim expression on his face as he looked back up at Kane. The Jonin chose this moment to speak, “He's on the move. I'm sure since he knows we are on his trail he won't stay in the same spot for long.” The Hokage nodded and dismissed Kane without another word There was nothing else to be discussed, and the Hokage had some tough decisions to make. The Jonin walked out of the office and down the spiral staircase once again. The shadows that lined the wall reminded him of the cave he explored inside of Cyrus's hidden lair. Every shadow seemed to taunt him as he passed by. He walked out of the tower and as he was walking towards the training grounds for fresh air he looked around at the buildings and trees in the village as images flashed through his mind like a flip book slowly trying to draw him into a blur of insanity. First, it was the hallucinations. He could see the trees of Konoha burning and people running away from the scene. Then, it was the scent of burning wood and flesh filling his nostrils but just as they came they went away leaving him there standing alone in the cool morning air of the Konoha Village. He continued to walk until he reached the training grounds and leaned up against a tree. He watched his student sleep wondering what she was doing sleep outside. Must have over worked her self. He noticed Kaiiaki was very independent and self driven. He climbed up the tree and rested on one of the higher and thicker branches as the sun started to slowly creep up into the sky letting a bit more sunshine sway over the village and giving the grass a slightly glistening look as the morning dew reflected off of the sun. He was beginning to relax and close his eyes when he kept one eye open and heard an inhuman screech come from Kaiiaki. He knew she wasn't in any physical pain, he could detect no danger within miles, so he decided to let this play out. The anger he felt in her words towards her parents, similar to his own. She fears being weak, and detest anyone with the remote possibility of being weak. But how long will it be before her hostility towards everyone and the pent up anger that boils into the core of her being be her downfall. This is what Kaiiaki's flaw is and hopefully as time goes on he can make her see, that is her weakness and will eventually make her weak. After all, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.-

Kaiiaki: - "I can't anymore!! I just...I can't!" Kaiiaki screeched at the top of her lungs, her strained words crying out to the heavens. "I can't hold myself back anymore." Kaiiaki concluded. The rage was pouring into her body, taking over her soul. The darkness she felt in her dream was all too real. And now it had come to take over her. It was as if a black aura emanated off of her body. The blackness bled into her soul. Whittling away the little goodness within her heart. This process was changing her, changing her into a person she wasn't before. As the darkness continued to take over, Kaiiaki let out an animalistic scream. Her feet pushed off the ground, standing her up in a fluid movement. "Where are those little fucks.." Kaiiaki's black eyes were now piercing the area around her. Searching for any type of movement or life. Luckily, Ragboy had been worried about Kaiiaki for some sort of reason. And so there he came, hopping along towards her while waving his hand joyfully. He called out her name but she wasn't listening anymore. All she wanted to do was end his life no matter the cause. The closer he got, the more she could taste his blood in her mouth. The happier he looked, the more she could feel his blood upon her hands. He would be the easiest to kill, but not as satisfying. Copycat would satisfy her more than Ragboy because of what he had said to her before. "A bitch huh.." Kaiiaki muttered to herself, recalling the words said in the past. He would pay for what he had said to her. And she would enjoy his kill the most out of all of them. But for now, she would focus on the all too friendly, happy go lucky Uchiha. "Get ready...to die." Kaiiaki hissed out of her purple lips. Without another word, Kaiiaki began to move her chakra out of her body. Moving it out of her arms, towards her hands, and finally mixing it with the molecules in the air. Crystallizing the air and water molecules in the air. With a simple wave of her hand, she formed this into crystal thorns. They stretched out in front of her, moving towards Ragboy at an unmatchable speed of 30 mph. The crystal thorns spread into a thick layer, forming from both of Kaiiaki's hands. Ragboy was about 40 feet away, directly facing her. Three thorns stretched out from Kaiiaki's hands and pierced straight towards Ragboy. Each thorn being about 8 inches in thickness. His distance enough to attack easily. Kaiiaki watched Ragboy's face as she attacked him. She watched as it switched from joy, to terror. He was going to be murdered. And there was nothing anybody could do to stop it. The thorns would pierce through his brain, heart, and abdomen in a matter of minutes unless something short of a miracle happened.-

KaneTsumi: -Kane sighed as he landed down on the ground from the tree branch softly and looked towards Kaiiaki, he knew he would have to intervene soon, the genin wasn't stable and the hidden leaf would question why he didn't stop his student from going psycho pathetic. The inhumane screeches that left her lips where horrifying to hear from such a young talented student, all of her frustrations and anger that she kept hidden inside are boiling to the surface, creating an eruption of mixed emotions. He watched the other student come up to Kaiiaki in his usual joyful attire making a frown form on his lips. He pulled out a scroll and opened it before summoning his puppet. The student meant well, but the way Kaiiaki unstable mind is right now there was no way the student would be able to survive her wrath at his current stage. Kane knew the extent of her abilities, and her teammates were not ready to face her yet. At least not without proper training first. She'd shown far more strategical abilities than her peers and they wouldn't last long without assistance. The puppet appeared beside him as he connected the invisible thin chakra threads with his fingers to the puppet. It stood at 6'2, with a red painted wooden attire with the symbol of the Rinha encircled by a red rose. Kane first created this puppet in his genin years. The other genin hated nor liked Kane, he was one of those who stayed out of the spot light until the chunin exams when everyone had seen the true extent of his abilities when he defeated his opponent quickly. He remembers the long hours of working on the puppet while his teammates questioned him about it but he ignored them and continued working. In some way the puppet was his only friend throughout growing up, and he used it as one of his lethal weapons in battle. Of course over the years he made a few modifications to the puppet, but it still had the same basics. As the chakra left Kaiiaki body, Kane used the body flicker technique to appear 5 feet behind his student and capture a good portion of the chakra into his hands using his clan's kekkei genkai to absorp the chakra and transfer it through the chakra threads into his puppet. This technique was known as the Spirit Reflection Technique, it allowed his puppet to create an exact copy of the chakra given to it, giving it the same abilities of Kaiiaki. With a flick of his fingers he was able to create crystal thorns of the same length to meet with the throns made from the genin letting them tangle with one another and pierce into the ground. Kane chose to this moment to speak making sure the other genin was alright first, “Kaiiaki what you are doing is not right. I know what you are feeling, and killing your teammates are not the answer you are looking for. If I teach you anything, then the first thing will be to set your morals in the right direction. And murdering someone who is far less incapable of fighting you is degrading on your part. Maybe your future lies elsewhere beyond the village of Konoha, but I will not let you leave this village with the legacy of a murderer. At least, not while your my student.”-

Kaiiaki: -At the sound of her sensei mute-man dropping down to the ground behind her, Kaiiaki froze. She hadn't expected a two on one. That seemed hardly fair. But whatever the case, she still didn't care. It irritated her that he was trying to reach her. Trying to get closer. "That damned Rinha clan stealing MY FUCKING CHARKA!" Kaiiaki began in a low murmur before her voice climaxed in volume at those last words. She watched in dismay as her crystal thorns collided with copied crystal thorns, the attack failing and compacting into the ground below. Now she was even more angry, and she didn't want to be anywhere near sensei. Kaiiaki sprinted off to the west, moving towards the tree closest to them which was about 50 feet to the west of the ongoing collision. Distance was what she needed from a puppet user and chakra drainer like him. He wouldn't have as easy as a time with being away from her. Yet she could easily manipulate her chakra from long distances such as this. As Kaiiaki reached the tree, she began to focus chakra within the soles of her feet. Chakra spread out evenly among these soles, covering them like a thin sticky barrier in which she could climb using her feet. Within a manner of seconds, Kaiiaki was sprinting up the side of the tree. However, she stopped as soon as she got to the first solid branch of the tree. This branch appeared to be a solid 25 feet from the ground below. Kaiiaki planted her feet upon the branch and watched off in the distance as Mute-man began to speak to her about how murder wasn't the answer. Kaiiaki shook her head back and forth. He would never understand the reason beyond what she was doing. "JUST STOP IT!" She screamed at the man who acted like he knew what he was talking about. "I WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE!" Kaiiaki's hands flew up to her hand, as if she was holding it from bursting at the sutures. "This place holds no value for me. All these people..." Kaiiaki began to weep, her tears flooding from her eyes as if she was in genuine pain. The sound from her weeping echoed throughout the treetops and field below. It filled the area with sadness from the depth of her heart. "I cannot be WEAK LIKE YOU!" Kaiiaki screamed through her teeth. Her head still down and rocking slightly. There was a great pain leaking through her head straight into her eyes. ~What the hell is happening to me?!~ Kaiiaki asked over and over again within her mind. Like clockwork the question revolved around inside of her mind. The pain stabbed at her eyes, causing her to buckle down to her knees, her head still in her hands. Had Kane done something to her to cause her to feel this pain? She had no other explanation... other than... Kaiiaki froze her body at once when she realized what could be happening. ~Are my eyes...changing to that of the next power level...?~ Kaiiaki had heard about the process from her older sister Dahlia. At the time, Dahlia had explained that the process is an often painful one. And it happens when a Kurisutaru trains hard enough to unlock it. And also, an emotional response is often the last trigger to unlock it. At this moment, Kaiiaki wished Dahlia was here to tell her what to do. But she was dealing with a problem right now. And Dahlia was nowhere to be seen. All of a sudden, Kaiiaki's head snapped back up. The pain had disappeared as soon as it had started. As Kaiiaki looked off into the distance at Kane and Ragboy, her pupils dilated, then shrank. As she looked at them, her now grey eyes stared at them. They had turned from black to grey as her power had grown. Of course, she couldn't physically see the new color. But she knew that grey was the next step up for her. And of course the last one she would attain were pink eyes. Every member of the Kurisutaru knew the lineage of eye power. It was what determined their status and respect. But she couldn't concentrate on the feeling of accomplishment that flooded through her system now. Giving her an extra burst of adrenaline. "Mute-man.." Kaiiaki began in a much calmer, but chilled voice. If the chill of her voice didn't depict the sound of a thousand winters, she didn't know what would. "You either let me leave or I kill this boy. And I am liable to kill the other one anyway. To give him payback for what he has said to me. I will kill you too if you do not get out of my way. Don't you dare think I will not." Kaiiaki was ready to mold her chakra with the air at any moment to counteract anything he could throw at her. It was up to him. But she wasn't going to waste her time on such idiocy and weaklings. She wanted out of this village and she wanted out NOW. She was tired of all the fake caring and smiles. It made her physically sick. She couldn't deal with this village anymore. She wanted to go back to Hoshigakure. The concentration of star training would perhaps distract her mind from all the people overcrowding her mind and thoughts.Something. ANYTHING. Had to be better than this. -

MoiZ107: ''What beautiful skin..'' smooth yet calm this unsuspecting comment pushed out from within the cluster of tree's packed behind Kaii. Though she'd be unable to pinpoint his exact location at first glance it was obvious he'd be in close proximity to her, other wise she wouldn't be able to hear him speak due to the low tone he currently used. ''And your eyes seem unique as well... though unlike Uchiha or Hyuga..'' With both legs crossed over one another he'd be somewhat seen seated throughout a branch hanging off one of the trees stacked into the landscape. From where she'd be squatted there was no way to see him clearly, he'd be above her head and unintentionally hidden behind multiple tree limbs coated in leaves. From where he sat the sound of paper being brushed began to emanate, his back would lay into the frame of the tree while the pen in his hand took off throughout the open book flattened on his lap. His attire was that of a shinobi off duty, with no weapons or bands it was clear to see, once looking at him directly, that he wasn't on assignment. Many Shinobi throughout the village take to the training fields at dawn, most for the scenery, training, or even meetings. But this specific place was closed off to normal civilians. With no particular motive this young man would find himself seeking entertainment, so to speak. As a young shinobi a day off comes, what felt like, once in a blue moon. So with a full day and a blank schedule he'd wounder into the training fields in hopes of spotting something interesting. With each stroke of the pen he took the image on the paper before him began to look more and more like the current display he previously witnessed. The girl lashing out at her helpless obviously teammate while her Sensei defused the situation with a more than impressive technique. The puppet was particularly difficult to remember, but he'd manage to capture ever latch and knot within the picture. -

Kaiiaki: - All Kaiiaki was do was stare off into the distance at Mute-man and Ragboy. The look upon Kane's face was nothing short of stoic, with a wrinkle of concern in his facial expression. He didn't want her to murder her teammates. He thought there was a better way for her to vent all of her anger. And there, Ragboy stared at her. He didn't seem one bit scared of her. Although, he knew he couldn't possibly beat someone with her skill level. He stood there unafraid to die by her hands. But why? Kaiiaki couldn't figure it out. But she wasn't wasting anymore time on these useless and weak fucks. She no longer wanted to stay here. And anyone in her way would get what was coming to them. "Have it your way." Kaiiaki hissed between gritted teeth. "But..I will leave you a present before I leave. I don't want you to follow me." Kaiiaki sneered at them briefly before moulding a large amount of chakra within her core. She quickly moved this large amount of chakra throughout her chakra system and out of her body. With a single gesture, Kaiiaki mixed her chakra with the air and water molecules within the air. When they mixed, they formed into the most jagged crystal thorns Kaiiaki had ever formed before. The branches formed down at the base of her tree, encircling it all around. She made sure to encircle the entire circumference of the 5 foot wide and 60 feet in height. The chakra thorns were wide in size, even more than before. This time they were 6 inches in width. Which would make it even more difficult if one were to try and break through them. Even though they were pretty much impossible to break unless Kaiiaki were to do it herself. Or if someone with a certain technique showed up. Which was also highly unlikely at this point. After Kaiiaki encircled the tree, she drove on the crystals towards her sensei and Ragboy forming them at a speed like no other, 35 mph to be exact. The crystals formed crashing one right in front of each other. Like the waves hitting upon the surf of a beach. They formed in a circle all around Kane and Ragboy with a circumference of about 4 feet in front of them. After that, she spiraled the crystal outwards, in the shape of a rose. With each circle, the crystal thorns branched in height. The crystals grew in height to about 6 feet upon each tight spiral. The spirals themselves were close-knit. Which left each spiral within 3 feet of each other. Once the rose had spiraled out to about a total of 50 feet in width, Kaiiaki stopped. The last layer of rose appeared to be about 36 feet in height. Satisfied at the end picutre, Kaiiaki began to laugh cruely at sensei and Ragboy. "HA! My rose is my gift you weaklings!! Good luck getting out of THAT one!" Kaiiaki continued to laugh and sneer at them for a few minutes before she finally decided it was time to leave. She was going to get out of here and those two would probably die of starvation before they could get out of that one. With a single leap down past the crystal thorns around her tree, Kaiiaki landed upon the ground. She didn't even give the two a last final glance before she started sprinting into the forest of the training grounds. She was going to take a short-cut through the woods. This way she wouldn't be seen and stopped to be asked some questions about what she had just done. The more people she avoided, the better her chances of escaping.-

MoiZ107:- The scenery would quickly change, almost suddenly the sounds of shifting glass began to reach him. Seated with his rear faced towards the altercation meant he'd have to look back over his shoulder in order to catch sight of what was unfolding. The sun's raise would pierce off the rugged edges of the massive rose shaped crystal that would form out and around the two Shinobi looking up at the girl. The pen within Harley's grasp would fall into the notebook he'd keep within his lap before adjusting himself for a better look. As he shut the book and turned himself his right leg would come to hang off the branch. His expression remained still as he looked towards the spectacle. Following her ruthless response towards her comrades he'd hear her satisfied laugh along with some words she'd spit at them. Her behavior was anything but friendly, and almost immediately Harley found her irritating. With no intention of moving from were he'd be lounged Harley continued to spectate, he couldn't help but wonder how long they'd remain imprisoned. The girl wouldn't waste too much time gloating and patting her own back before taking off in a sprint. As she turned away from her team, Harley would get a clear look into her face \*This chick is insane... she's going to die very badly... but not before messing things up...\* He'd think to himself as the girl lessened the distance between the two. If she were to suddenly spot him any specific details throughout Harley's face and body would be hard to identify. The shadows cast by his surroundings made him difficult to distinguish. One would simply see a man's shape faded out in black. Wouldn't take long before the two men left enclosed in crystal were eventually found, and with such a unique jutsu and personality... only an idiot would have trouble finding out who did such a thing. A light sigh would push out from his lips as he stood to his feet. Though he didn't want to move around much he figured someone as idiotic and blood thirsty as this young lady approaching was bound to be hostile.. and he wasn't in the mood to end up as a pretty little crystallized flower. As he straightened himself out his posture displayed a gentleman like background, his arms would cross over his chest and he'd lean along side the tree's frame. Harley's expression, much like his reaction towards what he had seen, remained nonchalant and steady. -

KaneTusmi: - Kane was slightly amused by the young genin's sense of frustration as he was able to use his clan's kekkei genkai to absorp and manipulate her chakra into his puppet. He knew of her temper all to well over the time frame he trained the arrogant, short tempered genin he gained this knowledge. He watched her run away from two of them towards the west direction as he made no attempt to follow, he knew she wasn't done yet, and the jonin is slightly intrigued into what the young shinobi had in store for them. She is not the only one who has been training. This would be a good time to see where each of his genin stand, and how Ryota would react to a situation under the heat of battle. Even though, anger leads to irrational and hasty decisions, he wanted Kaiiaki to be angry. He knew if he intervened she would lash out at them. He wanted her to be fueled by her anger so he could see the true extent of her abilities, and if she is really capable of making it to the chunin exams. He already predicted she would be one of his students that would pass, although the other two still needed much more work. In the way she performed her jutsu and transformed her anger into becoming stronger is an attribute the jonin was seeking in his genin, because if you don't find something that keeps you motivated to push yourself, then you will eventually dull out. Now that he knew what made her tick he was going to continue to pester her day in and day out until she became one of the best lethal weapons a village can have in their arsenal. He hated to admit it, but the shinobi world is mostly about business. If the product is no good who will want to buy into it? He had to train his genin to be the best products of the Village so they will be the ones to make the difference in a war or protecting the village if such events happened. He didn't believe in wasting his time or anyone else time with idle, insignificant training. Everything he do and continues to do has a certain purpose behind it. He could have easily let her kill off her teammates, he didn't believe they were going to make it pass the chunins as it is and it would have been a relief off of his shoulders. Like he has concluded before, the shinobi world is strictly business, if a product is not producing then you get rid of it and find a new product to gamble with, hoping it will multiply. Most wouldn't agree with this, but those people are only avoiding and sugar coating the truth of it all. They were all tools to eventually be used by their respective villages for their own needs, but that was life. The inevitable couldn't be changed. He was trying to hint to Kaiiaki that Konoha was not where she was meant to be. Their friendly atmosphere, and set beliefs will not lead her to become the shinobi she was meant to become. She needed somewhere more secluded, so she could have more reign to do as she please, but of course she needed much more advanced training and someone to knock her down a peg when she became to high and mighty, after all she was still a genin no matter how much talk she dishes out about others being weak. One of the things he witnessed with her is that she is very rash in her decisions, letting him know her instability to control herself was weak, border line pathetic. It is good to be strong in ninjutsu, but if your all brawns with a weak minded mentality then you won't get a few steps in a real battle with someone equal or greater in strength to rival your own without youg getting killed without so much as a second glance, that is what she had to realize. A half smirk appeared on his face as she cried tears before screaming to them making her anger radiate from where she stands like a suffocating fog that engulfed the area. Yes, he thought to himself, let it all out Kaiiaki. He nearly laughed at her idle threat on killing him, the arrogant little genin had much to learn before she even dreamed of landing a scratch on the Rinha. Something was different though, her eyes changed and her voice is calmer and seems colder. He didn't know much about her clan besides the information that was given to him by the Hokage. Her anger must have advanced her to the next level. Perfect, he thought, now he could get down to the more crucial training with the genin, but first he would let her have her little spotlight to make her believe that she was in control for a slight moment. He matched her stare from a distance without batting an eyelash as he waited for his genin to make her move. He arched an eyebrow at her saying she was giving him a “present”. He walked over to the other genin, Ryota, and place a reassuring hand on his shoulder as he seen the boy tense up, “Calm yourself and be patient. Let her experiment with her new found strength, I promise you that as long as I am with you she can not lay a finger on you even if she attempted to.” He could sense the chakra moving around in her body and she used a large amount for her next stunt as his hand twitched slightly in anticipation. He refrained himself from going over to the genin and zapping the amount of chakra right from her grasp and leave her frail body to lay in a heap at his feet; the amount of chakra she was using is electrifying and he could feed off of her like a buffet if he wished to do so. He stood there calmly and calculating the size of the thorns as he each of them hit the ground around them performing a tricky maze-like structure that spiraled upwards It was really a capturing sight, to see as the thorns enclosed them finalizing a rose-like structure. How ironic, he thought. His nickname is the Red rose and here he is captured in a rose. He would have to congratulate his student on her unintentional sense of humor later, but for now he had some crystals to toy with. Ryota eyes widened in shocked as he looked around at their situation, but Kane stayed the same. He knew he could get out of this without so much as a sweat, he was chosen to be jonin at a young age for a reason and surely no genin could trap him so easily unless he willed it. But he decided he would let Ryota take a part in dismantling this glorious, well crafted trap. His hand tightened slightly on the genin shoulder, “This is your time to make a statement. That you are not someone to be reckoned with and show yourself that you are not weak and you are a shinobi of the leaf as well. Let me see the full extent of your ability and let's break these crystals together.” Ryota nodded with a new found confidence for his sensei as he began to draw up chakra to perform his next technique. Meanwhile Kane stood beside him drawing up his own lightning chakra as his body engulfed in a red lightning aura of electricity. His nervous system kicking in overdrive as it felt like bolts of lightning coursing through his veins giving him enhanced senses, speed, and power. The hair on his head and neck stood up as if he was being shocked as Ryota looked over at his sensei in astonishment before regaining his posture and focusing on the task at hand. The Rinha used his index finger and thumb to move the chakra threads of his puppet as it began to use Kaiiaki's crystal thorn technique. The thorns coiled around each other making the thorns combine into one another becoming thicker and thicker until there stood a 20 foot drill-like structure in the center of them. The ground on either side of them started to rumble and shake making the maze structure start to move as Kane moved at an astonishing speed hitting the crystal made structure at its weak points with powerful multiple punches. Ryota couldn't keep up with his sensei's action as he could only see partial cracks in the structure as he kept using Earth Release: Tearing Earth turning Palm technique. The rose like structure sunk deeper and deeper into the ground as the genin stood on a piece of land that was enough room for him and the 20-foot crystal made drill-like structure. The top spiral shaped part of the maze came closer and closer as Kane kept the minor thorn-like crystals from stabbing Ryota or getting to his puppet. Once the tip of the drill-like structure and the heart of the rose met there was an awfully loud sound the two met and clashed against each other. Kane helped the drill by continuously weakening the structure with his quick powerful hits as all Ryota could see was a flash of red lightning mixing in with the tip of the drill as it drilled a hole straight through the heart of the structure. Once there was a big enough hole Ryota stopped as Kane landed right beside him, as he placed his puppet back into its scroll and no longer in the lightning release form. His knuckles were coated with blood as he wiped them off with his sleeve, he could heal them eventually so it wasn't a major issue. The sun peeped through the hole of the structure like a gateway as Kane smiled at Ryota, “I'm proud of you but I must head out in search of Kaiiaki. Be safe in your journeys and make your village proud.” Kane quickly climbed up the drill and moved his way down the now dismantled crystals as he picked up on a faint trail of Kaiiaki's chakra, since he was able to absorp some of it, that helped him get a targeting point as he moved forward hastily, no way was he letting his student go out there alone when so much work was to be done.

Kaiiaki: - "Dahlia...where are you!!" Kaiiaki cried out in a small voice. The voice didn't sound like the typical Kaiiaki. It sounded like she just wanted her sister and companion. She needed her direction and wisdom to guide her back towards the Village Hidden in the Stars. There was no way she would be able to navigate towards that area by herself. She would most definitely get lost. Without a sense of direction, she would never be able to reach Hoshigakure. She would have to get to Dahlia as soon as possible. No matter what the cost. Kaiiaki resolved this as she continued to run through the forest. Trees twisted around her, as if they were trying to deter her from escaping. But she fought against them as she continued, refusing to give up. But as she could see the clearing of the other side, she thought she her a small sound. As if a nearby bush bristled, and then a thump against a tree. Kaiiaki quickly spun around to face whatever had assaulted her eardrums with their heartstopping sound. What she saw almost took her breath away. A genin, about her same age was standing against the trunk of a tree. She stared through him, her new grey eyes piercing through his eyes. Giving him the look of hatred if there ever was one. Now there was another complication. Someone else had seen what she had just done. She was sure of it. He had been nearby when it happened and who could look away from such a scene as that? Kaiiaki growled under her breath at the passerby. She didn't have time to deal with him. She wondered for a quick moment if she had the time to kill him real quick. But then she thought more on the matter. Perhaps he would be more valuable to her alive. If he would come Dahlia and herself, perhaps they could use him as a cover. Or perhaps use his corpse to draw the pursuers off into the opposite direction. ~Yes...he would be more valuable to us alive. Even if we decide to not use him, we would have more time to kill him later on than I do here.~ She nodded to herself before reaching her right hand out towards the stranger. Grey eyes flickered back and forth between her and the stranger, as if she were anxious and running short on time. "I am not going to wait all day." She said shortly. "You are coming with me, because we are going on vacation." Kaiiaki spoke to him smoothly, as if she hadn't even just now lied to him. Just in case, she added more to ease his suspicion. "This is just a training exercise and we are just acting. Our sensei thought it would be a good idea for me to play the rogue ninja." She stepped closer to him, trying to urge her hand closer to his so that he would grab it. "Please, come with me. You look like you'd be smart enough to pass an exercise as simple as this. And I could definitely use someone as smart as you on my team." Kaiiaki was lying through her teeth, but she wouldn't give it away that she was. She smiled at him, her glittering teeth giving off a convincing friendly face. As if she really was just just going through a training exercise with her sensei. -

MoiZ107: - Wouldn't take too long for the young girl to push through the area he'd be in, and as she did so it would seem the noise made by his slow paced movement captured her attention. Though he was obviously unfamiliar with this strange eye'd girl his assumption towards her overall personality wasn't a positive one, the arrogance and impulsive behavior displayed by this young child left much to be desired. Due to Harley's surroundings and the distance left between the two, as the girl froze in her steps, the girl wouldn't be able to clearly see his unamused expression. The girl's face suddenly began to irritate him as she glared up into the tree, her reactions towards the current situation was more than just a little annoying to him. Her eyes of course were unique and her glistening skin dazzled.. but despite of having such distracting traits her unstable mind set was what Harley couldn't help but notice the most. His eye's would invert from looking directly into her face and would instead begin focusing on her body language. She'd display anxious and hostile behavior while attempting to stand in one place, and whatever nonsense was soon to come out her mouth was quickly dismissed by Harley. His patience for such spoiled children ran thin, he held no specific disdain towards the girl directly but those within his age group sickened him. Like he predicted earlier utter nonsense began spewing from her mouth, his silence was kept as she continued but his guard enabled. Demonstrating more self control than any child of his age should have.. He'd remain steady while allowing her to say her peace. The threatening tone she'd hold while barking orders at him crashed in on itself. She was no doubt in a hurry and wouldn't notice how she contradicted herself. Her lie was unmissable, only a pure moron would truly take her words into count. Soon after her lips held together the crumbling sound of her Crystal style began rippling through the scenes. Harley wouldn't budge an inch as the events around him played out. ''You're not too bright.. are you?'' he unintentionally exhibit his own brand of arrogance while replying ''How long did you think that pretty little flower of yours would hold a Jonin?''. His voice had a rocky center which blended in well with how smooth and calm his words came out. ''..How troublesome...'' carrying little equipment meant a fight with a bloodthirsty idiot like the girl before him was more trouble than it'd be worth, but nevertheless he'd begin calculating the outcome of the possible scenario. ''I heard you shouting by the way...'' {FlashBack to Kaii } . Kaiiaki shook her head back and forth. He would never understand the reason beyond what she was doing. "JUST STOP IT!" She screamed at the man who acted like he knew what he was talking about. "I WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE!" Kaiiaki's hands flew up to her hand, as if she was holding it from bursting at the sutures. "This place holds no value for me. All these people..." Kaiiaki began to weep, her tears flooding from her eyes as if she was in genuine pain {FlashBack to Kaii } ''Meaning your attempt at hiding your true scheme failed...'' the way he spoke to her made it clear, he was not trying to understand her situation nor did he have any intention of letting her trick him. ''Honestly... I can not tell you how much I don't care for what is happening right now... meaning if you keep on going... it'll be like I was never here... but'' he'd pause for a short second before letting out a sigh ''The way you act leaves me to think you're going to meet an unfortunate end.. and honestly, it'd be a waste to see such a pretty thing parish... but I want to be there for when it happens..'' his words were cold and heartless, but the meaning behind them were sincere and most likely misunderstood. He simply wanted to be witness to either her downfall or success, he couldn't help but wounder if someone so unstable could ever find happiness. ''So I'll tell you what... you will not be able to force me...'' each second he spent speaking gave her sensei a better chance to catch up, Harley knew this of course... so he'd speed up his statement. ''I'll willingly play along... I'm off assignment for the time being... which means I have a bit of time to play. I'll meet you by the gates, or where ever it is you're planning to sneak out from, in a few hours... if you have any change of plans... you better find a way to inform me...'' His tone of speaking made it obvious he was serious, but because she had no proof of his honesty he was prepared to rip open her throat... so to speak. -

Kaiiaki: - Kaiiaki stood completely still while she listened to the boy speak. Even though she had controlled her tone towards him, he had figured out that it was all just a ploy to use him. And he just wasn't having it. It might have worked against a less intelligent individual, but not this one. Kaiiaki glanced back behind her, hearing the sound of drilling and lightning jutsu breaking apart her crystal rose. And then something else that sounded like a drain sucking down something that weighed a ton. Kaiiaki swung her head back around to face the boy. Razor sharp teeth bit down upon her bottom lip forcefully, causing it to bleed down her chin. She didn't have much time, and the individual standing in front of her knew that as well. He was mocking her intelligence, yet agreed to come along with her. Perhaps herself and Dahlia wouldn't kill him if he could be used for something more than just a distraction for the Anbu that would no doubt be on their trail. Perhaps she would make him her mate. But, she couldn't think about such things right now. Kaiiaki released her bleeding lips from her teeth, and closed the distance between the two of them so that she was only inches away from his face. "I'll meet you there in 3 minutes." She said shortly, with no room for discussion. She stared into his eyes, looking into them with depth. As if she was staring straight into his soul. Then, as soon as she was there, she wasn't anymore. She was once again running. Off into the other side of the forest that met Konoha. She didn't want to attract any attention, but she had to keep moving. Kaiiaki's body sped up, she was now running as fast as she possibly could. She had to get to Dahlia and fast. Maybe, just maybe her sister had sensed she was in trouble. And hopefully had some things packed up for them to go. But if not, they would have to forage off the things in the wilderness. It wouldn't be the first time they had to do such things. Dahlia and Kaiiaki had both killed before trying to survive on the road. Picking off little traveling merchants had been easy. And they could easily do it again. Within a minute, Kaiiaki had raced through the small part of the village. All the sounds of the laughing people, pounded against her eardrums. All the smells of the foods in the marketplace suffocated her. She had shoved through anybody who had gotten in her way. It wasn't like she cared if they fell down and got hurt. "Stupid peasants." She hissed at them all, sneering at all the supposed kind people within the village. She pushed one more older woman out of her way, sending her sailing into the ground before Kaiiaki burst through her front door. "DAHLIA!" Kaiiaki screamed at the top of her lungs. "GO TIME! NOW!" Kaiiaki knew her sister would know what she was talking about with those few words that she had spoken. Whenever they said that, it was a mutual understanding that it was time to go on to the next place. That they had overstayed their welcome and it was soon for their existance to be discovered. With a quick runthrough of the house, Kaiiaki had grabbed a small canteen of water, and a few food provisions before running back out of the door. She knew Dahlia would soon be following behind her. She had to meet that genin in front of the gates. She only had 1 minute left.-

DahliaRhiannon: -Dahlia walked through the hallway of her home, heading toward the bathroom where she had been about to take a bath. Her mint hair was tied into tight top buns. She was wearing a tight black crop top and black shorts, paired with knee high shinobi boots. She moved to slowly pull the top over her head as she entered the bathroom only to be interrupted by her sister yell through their residence. The unexpected entry caused her to jump her arms tangling in the partially removed top. After regaining her composure she realized what had been yelled. It appeared it was “Go Time” again. She couldn't be bothered or irritated by the sudden need to leave. She hated the village and their people. It all seemed so phony to her. Not to mention the times she herself had caused a “Go Time.” She chuckled as she reminisced while she untangled herself and finally succeeded in getting her top back on. Her only reply to her sister was short and sweet.-”Good times.” She moved through the house to her room reaching under her bed and pulled out a packed bad. IT contained clothes, her ninja tools, and any valuable item the sister ever had. It was a decent size but not to large that it caused any movement restrictions. She carried through her room first gathering various tools and scrolls laying around, and stuffed them in the bag. Once she had grabbed what she could, she left a explosive tag on the ceiling of her room and moved out to scatter 4 more tags throughout the house before moving into the kitchen to find her sister moving out of the kitchen and out the door where she quickly followed, she spoke as she stayed near the younger girl covering their rear. -”Kai, I've been thinking a lot about home.. “ - She was genuinely curious in her sisters thoughts. She knew it was something they wanted, but the time hadnt been right till now. They were running out of options and she was strong enough in her Offensive path to handle things if need be. Her and her sister were survivors. They had gone through worse and overcome it and this was nothing in comparison. Dahlia hoped that if they did go home, they wouldnt need to be leaving again anytime soon. She glanced at her sister as she waited to hear the others thoughts on the matter.-

KaneTsumi: -Kane was in no rush to catch up to the genin, Kaiiaki. He would be able to track her from her carelessness and irrational behavior of going against a jonin Rinha, her sensei nonetheless, which he has yet to understand fully of her drastic outburst. Surely the shinobi life wasn't sunshine and roses all the time, but she needed to get a grip on herself before something big happens that even him himself can not help her dig her way out of. He made sure to keep himself hidden and his chakra covered as he watched as the genin converse with another. He never seen this genin around before, what could she be planning, a partner in crime prehaps? He left as it seemed they were wrapping up their brief meeting, as he headed into the village. He kept in his possession a connection of her chakra from the encounter that happened shortly before to locate her through the village when he needed to do so as he stopped at the local Ramen shop and entered the building. There weren't many customers thankfully, when he looked towards the counter the owner waved at him with a friendly smile creasing his facial features while he sat down at one of the stools. The owner was middle aged dressed in a cooking apron and a white towel on his shoulder. The man greeted him with a calm friendly voice in his speech, “The usual old friend?” Kane nodded and drummed his fingers on the table as he only had to wait a few minutes before his bowl of Ramen was placed in front of him. The smell wavered towards his nose as he stood up, “Thank you for the meal, take care now.” He paid for the meal and left a generous tip for the man as he walked out the door with his Ramen and pair of chopsticks. He figured it was almost time for the genin Kaiiaki to make her drastic escape from the village as it was obvious she didn't plan on staying in Konoha after her episode, after the Hokage hears about this he has no doubts she will be wanted for questioning, so he decided to wait for her at the gates. Once he was there he relaxed against one of the pillars looking towards the gates of Konoha while he ate his Ramen in silence. His eyes flashed back towards his first encounters with the short tempered genin bring a light chuckle to his lips as he whispered softly to himself, “The future ahead is a dark one indeed, every generation of genin have their own legacy they leave behind whether for good or evil intentions.” -

MoiZ107: - The female before him quickly came to a decision, her time was running low and she knew the consequences that would befall someone betraying the village. Having an individual carry information from one nation to the other was a serious crime in any location, and though that wasn't the girls intent she had little proof to support her innocence. As for the young man he had already made his intentions clear, he was blunt and honest when he said he wanted to be a witness to the outcome of her betrayal. If the girl were to fail and get captured the shinobi traveling beside her would meet the same fate, so he'd have to show caution. The two genin would now be staring each other down in silence, not much time passed before the girl once again continued moving into the village.. but before doing so she'd display more odd behavior. Upon making her way up onto the tree branch occupied by Harley she'd get uncomfortable close, for a second Harley thought he upset her to the point of attack.. but the body language she gave off before advancing didn't hold any signs of aggression. She simply responded with a time adjustment, three minutes was all the time she'd give him to prepare.. which must have meant she had all her belongings set. Of course Harley wouldn't take her seriously, nor would he rush.. if anything, once he got home he could just lie in bed and forget ever meeting the crazy girl.. Though if he did that he'd merely catch the half ass'd rumors that would spread throughout the village. Harley vanish into white lining as they separated and it wouldn't take long before he found himself stepping inside his home, it was rare for him to bump into his parents, but there they were. As he stepped in they'd both look in his direction and the situation would quickly escalate. The book Harley carried at his hip would drop down onto the floor near his parents feet, as it did so it'd lay open revealing the sketch he perfectly forged while watching the squad within the training fields. It'd show a sensei stepping in to save one of his students from the other, as they looked to the picture a silence fell. ''That girl looks rabid as always..'' Harley couldn't help before smirking at his father's comment ''Well.. I'm heading out for awhile.. that Rabid girl wants to exit the village.. that's something people wouldn't mind I believe..'' Of course the looks of confusion and concern found its way onto their faces rather quickly. ''Don't worry, I won't be too long..'' were the words he'd say before side stepping into his room. His father's personality matches his own, so he wouldn't react to the news. His mother on the other hand continued questioning him while he prepared himself. His attire would be dramatically altered as he readied himself, it'd be well over three minutes but he could of cared less. With his time clearly up he'd begin to make his way towards the gate they agreed to meet at. It would still be early in the day so as Harley speed over the village's rooftops Shinobi's brushed pass. Though Harley was late, if he would have reached the gate before the girl his interactions would no doubt be different. Within the light crowd near the gate he couldn't help but notice a familiar face, thinking back to the picture it'd be non other then her sensei. With a few little fancy spins he'd land down right beside the man without even a single word. Harley's expression showed to be as blank and nonchalant as ever. It'd be vise versa if he saw all of them waiting by the gate.-

Kaiiaki: -They were so close to making it. All they had to do was run about 50 more feet and they would be right there at the gates. Thankfully the Kurisutaru sisters had purchased a home close to the gates for this same reason. Kaiiaki felt her sister join along behind her, then catch up with her speed in a flash. As she was much faster than Kai. As they approached the gates, the sound of an explosion tearing away the wood of a home echoed throughout the air. It splintered throughout the area, as wood crashed around. People began to scream and run in the opposite direction. Within seconds, people were rushing around trying to get out of the way. Nearby ninja were running to the scene of the exploded house. They rushed to the scene of the crime to see if anyone had been hurt and if they needed taken to a medic. Kaiiaki could hear their yells, but they were faraway now. "Hoshigakure...our Star village. That's where we belong, my dear sister." Kaiiaki responded to Dahlia shortly, but effectively. "We will probably have a few anbu on our back at least. We best cover our tracks. We do not know if they will want to steal our bodies for our DNA like others in the past have. If so, they will want to kill us on spot." Kaiiaki spoke just as they reached the gates. She looked around quickly and panicked, not seeing the boy with whom she had agreed to meet with earlier. ~Where the hell is he?~ She thought to herself. But she couldn't be bothered with that. She wasn't going to stick around and wait on him. Now was their chance to escape and they wouldn't be given a chance like this again. With a single glance, Kaiiaki noticed that the border patrols had gone to the scene of the burning home. This was their perfect chance. With a burst of speed, she tried desperately to catch up to Dahlia. Trying to match her much faster paced speed. Without a single glance backwards, they both raced over the gates of the village of Konoha for the last time. Kaiiaki's new grey eyes were instead glancing ahead at her future. The direction of her home village of Hoshigakure. The soft scuff of her ninja sandals could be heard as she followed behind Dahlia, as the two of them sped through the forest. They ran for a solid 5 minutes before they were able to hide their appearances in the shadows of the forest. They leapt up into the first tree they could find, and began pouncing from tree limb to limb. They had to keep up their speed if they were going to get any headway from any pursuers. So they would keep at this pace until Dahlia would tell Kaiiaki they were safe to take a rest. "Keep your eyes peeled sis. There are bound to be some troublesome bandits and other rogues out here that we'll run into." Saying this was unnecessary, Dahlia knew the dangers out here as well as she did. And this was just the beginning of their journey.-

DahliaRhiannon: She smiled as chaos broke out. Her parting gift had cause quite the ruckus, screams of terror and pain rung through her ear much to her pleasure. She hoped whomever was after them had been in the house. But also beside fulfilling her sick amusement the explosion had distracted the ninja. They all sprang into action. Leaping to the scene of the explosion in a valiant effort to save anyone in danger from the detonation. She muttered her most spoken comment, a word that summed up her feelings for every person that belonged to this miserable hole of a village.- “Pathetic.” - She lead her younger sister passed the gates and began heading into the thick forest that surrounded Konohagakure. She was happy her sister agreed, Home it was then. She hoped it would last this time. She nodded to her sisters comment about covering their tracks Once the cover was proficient they took to the branches. She leapt through the trees with ease. Moving at a quick but manageable speed so her sister could keep up. The comment about bandits and such made her chuckle she responded light heartedly- “That would be an unfortunate event for them, Hm?” - She wasn't in the mood for delays and distractions. It would be best for people to stay out of their way. She sighed and spoke again this time her tone was quiet.- Speaking of eyes..Gray looks good on you. Not as good as purple on me but still pretty good. \*She smiled back at her sister before getting back to focusing on the task at hand. Dahlia Had to get Kai and herself safely to Hoshigakure. Even then she knew better than to trust anyone. She would play the part if need be. But only kai had her complete trust. Kai was all Dahlia had left, and she would be damned if she let someone take her little sister away too. With the genins new eyes she would be able to teach Kaiiaki new techniques as well. She had high hopes for her self and her sister. One day they wouldnt ever have to run again. In fact, people will be running from them.-

KaneTsumi: -Kane was in the middle of bringing the steaming hot noodles to his lips as his bowl started to shake, a loud explosion sound could be heard off in the distance. The two shinobi that posted at the gates looked towards Kane, “Watch the gates for us while we go check this out!” They dashed towards the scene as Kane kept eating his Ramen. He already had a general idea of what was happening it didn't surprise him that Kaiiaki would pull a stunt like this as a diversion tactic. She was a very predictable genin it seems, if you were trying to escape a well respected village why would one draw attention to themselves. People were running and screaming as they started to panic thinking the village was under attack. One woman even ran up to him and pleaded for him to do something. He raised his eyebrow at the woman's pleads, “Calm down, I assure you that you are safe and Konoha has everything under control. Return home ma'm.” She looked at him in disbelief and ran off in the direction of the village probably in search of another shinobi to bother with her useless rants of panic. He was really starting to become irritated at the huge scene Kaiiaki was causing, and he would make sure to make her punish for it later on. As he was finishing his bowl of Ramen another shinobi appeared out of the light chaotic crowd that steadily start to grow near the front gates. It recognized the genin from earlier who exchanged words with Kaiiaki. The genin made his way over to Kane as he tossed his bowl away and looked at the genin curiously, “I am assuming you are going on the adventure as well. We might as well begin, there is no time to waste. Make sure you keep up so I don't have to carry dead weight around, I have no doubts we will run into trouble along the way, and it will give you an opportunity to introduce yourself along the way.” An Anbu shinobi of the hidden leaf appeared in front of them as Kane finished talking. The mask prevented the anbu's identity from being exposed, but Kane had a good idea of who it was. And they were never on good terms meaning if he was sent then something was about to happen. The Anbu shinobi looked at the genin before looking at Kane, “The gates will be closed, Konoha is on lock down until your student is found. You and the other with you need to head back home until our investigation is complete.” Kane nodded, “Understood.” The Anbu turned his back towards them as he was about to dash off but before he could place his foot in front of the other Kane was behind him and swung his elbow at a forty-five degree angle rapidly towards the side of the Anbu's skull hitting the temple instantly. The Anbu's body jerked as he fell to the ground with a thud. “We have to get moving soon, we don't have long before he wakes and others start to show.” He started to dash towards the gates and into the woods as he focused on Kaiiaki's chakra to see what direction she went.-

MoiZ107: - Shinobi forces mobilized prior to the girl's little stunt. Harley wasn't sure why such a scene was necessary but despite his questions the scenario continued playing out. While standing beside the Jonin Harley took note of his expression, would seem Harley wasn't the only one questioning the girl's escape method. While listening to the Jonin speak he couldn't help but notice the overwhelming similarity between him and the girl. The way the spoke to others was unmissable. Harley was set and prepared to take off, his attire consisted of having multiple scrolls throughout his person. Though the scrolls were mainly occupying the space around his waist he'd have one hanging off his back due to it's massive size. Shinobi pouches were kept at his rear and Kunai holsters strapped to his thighs. His primary weapon also sat at his rear, a straight sword weighing in at about 21 lb and reaching out to 2 1/2ft. with stainless steel. This blade possessed a black scabbard with a matching hilt and seemed to be much larger than normal straight swords. His outfit varied from casual Shinobi wear. Harley would yet to comment on the Jonin's statement before they were interrupted. Someone from the Kage's personal army stood inches from the two, only a few words were exchanged before the man took off. Clearly this Jonin was well trusted by his comrades, unfortunately his betrayal was just as eminent. With a single strike the Jonin beside him took the Anbu out of commission, leaving him laying out in the open before getting ready to take off. Harley would look down at the unconscious man before stepping to him. As he approached the body he'd squat down along side it for just a moment, long enough to remove the man's mask. The design throughout the well armored mask resembled traditional markings, and the animal represented reminded Harley of a cat.. maybe even a lion. Nonetheless Harley pulled the mask on, but in an odd fashion. The mask was placed so that only half his face was visible. As he straightened himself out he'd take off in a blinding sprint beside the Jonin who'd probably have some sort of tracking skill. -

{ CLOSED-Completed-: 1/30/16 }
