..:Unleash The Beasts:..

[Scarlet Weather]

Name: Hayate Momoji

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Personality: Cold-hearted and merciless in battle, Momoji doesn't take prisoners. Hey, neither would you if you had been one of those who had failed to protect Naruto and felt responsible for allowing those akatsuki scum to get a foothold in world domination. Momoji often beats himself up, and is ridden by self-guilt because he failed in his assignment: protect the ninth jinchuuriki at all costs. He's obsessed with the thought of making ammends for his mistakes, to the point that he would gladly sacrifice his life or kill one of his friends if he knew that it would destroy a member of Akatsuki, though he isn't likely to admit it. Before he lost Naruto, however, Momoji was quite different, and was always ready with a song or a joke to lighten the mood. He would often flirt with the girls of Konoha, and was a firm believer in the laws of chivalry. Occasionally, when he loses focus this original personality resurfaces, and he is forced to suppress it so as not to lose sight of his goal: prevent Akatsuki from taking over the world at all costs.

Appearance: Momoji's hair is about shoulder-length, and is a light green color. His eyes are green as well, and his face doesn't shatter any mirrors: in fact, some have gone so far as to call him "handsome". He wears the ordinary Konoha uniform: a green vest that covers the front of the body, and blue pants. His hitae-aite is worn on the forehead, and he wears a large shield on his left arm. The shield itself is shaped like an arm-guard with silver lining and a red center, and is made from sturdy metal.

Class: Jounin

Techniques:

Rapid Fire: Chakra Shot
A technique in the same class as rasengan, but not performed in the same way. Momoji focuses tiny bullets of pure chakra into miniscule holes in his shield, then fires them at an enemy. Getting hit with a bullet essentially does the same degree of damage getting shot with a real bullet would cause.

Metal Fist: Skyhammer
Momoji simply charges himself forward and attacks with his shield, sending an opponent flying into the air.

Warp Hole: Yami no Kami Leap
Momoji focuses his chakra around his body, then pulls himself through a "Dark Hole" created through his bloodline to appear somewhere else. This jutsu can only teleport him to an area within twelve meters of his original location, but it does so instantaneously, making it perfect for moving about and attacking enemies.

Blade Pull: Yami no Tsurugi
Momoji uses his "Warp Hole" to transport a weapon seemingly from nowhere.

Dimension Pocket
Momoji pulls out one of the numerous kunai or shuriken he has stored in the dimension his warp hole leads to, effectively allowing him to throw nearly limitless amounts of weaponry at foes.

Kuchiyose no Jutsu: Ino
Hayate's summon: A particularly bad-tempered boar named Ja Ne.

Kekkei Genkai/Bloodline Limit: The Hayate clan have the ability to use their chakra to open "Dimension Holes", localized openings to another dimension that can be used to move objects instantaneously or to store objects for periods of time. There is a limit to the amount of space that can be taken up in the dimension, however, before it becomes unstable, so Momoji must keep careful track of what he puts in it.

Fighting Style: Momoji prefers to keep his distance from his enemies, and uses his chakra bullets and throwing weapons to keep them at bay. He uses grappling attacks and his ability to transport himself from place to place in order to keep himself away from close range and mid range attackers while attacking from a distance. His art causes him to consume a considerable amount of chakra, however, so he doesn't like drawn-out battles, preferring to finish things quickly and cleanly.

Village: Konoha

Host/Follower: Follower

History: A prodigy of sorts, Momoji became a chunin at age thirteen, on his first try at the exam, then stayed at that level for a number of years, preffering to enjoy the simple life and stay near Konoha rather then branch out on his own and perform missions that would keep him on the road for months. This all changed, however, when Akatsuki captured the next-to-last tailed beast. Momoji was sixteen at the time, and it was decided that all qualified shinobi should be assigned to guard Uzumaki Naruto, the last jinchuuriki. Working with his comrades, Momoji fell into his new life with ease, and by the time he turned seventeen three months later, he was sure that Akatsuki wouldn't even make an attempt to capture Naruto. Unfortunately, this was not the case, and three days after his birthday, Akatsuki made a surprise attack en masse, and not only managed to defeat every single member of Naruto's "honor guard", but to capture and escape with the jinchuuriki himself. Filled with sadness and guilt for failing a comrade like Naruto, Momoji threw himself into his work, and was successfully appointed to jounin level. Word has reached him that five new shinobi have harnessed the power of beasts, and he's willing to do anything he can to help them wipe out Akatsuki.

Name: Wasuremono Aiko
Age: 13
Gender: Female

Appearance: Aiko is plain; and this is what she knows; she is usually like an average female adolescent. She has a flat chest and has no curves aside her body so she looks like a stick, though Aiko's body is healthy and strong. Aiko has a skin complexion that is correlative to a peach, her skin is the ashen, yet flush color of a peach. And the light stubbles of the peach are Aiko's ample army of her auburn-colored freckles. She has mystical eyes; they are an amethyst color and seem to practically gleam at you. The pupils of both eyes are abnormally large, larger than the average twelve year-olds pupil. Aiko has dull hair, as it is a russet brown with the saturation taken out of it. It isn't shiny or silky, its just plain hair that Aiko has kept unkempt and messy. It reaches down to her elbows and ends up in seven ringletted curls, on each side of her. Her uneven bangs frame her face as they slant from the left to the right. Aiko only has a small stub as a nose, as you can hardly see it.

Aiko's attire consists of a kimono that is sheath-like. The texture of it is hard and only ones being able to stand the harsh texture, like Aiko, may be able to wear it. Otherwise, you would receive a big amount of rug-burns. The kimono is special, as on the waist-line, there are beads. Each bead represents a time when Aiko's old self has cried, the beads are warm colors consisting of the following – olive, peach, navy, scarlet, and orange. They shape into rounded circles and are big in size. There are seven beads that Aiko can't remember how they got there. Under that is an ebony, fish-net shirt that covers all the needed spots on Aiko's body, it is tight on Aiko's body, and much like a second layer of skin. Aiko wears multiple bandages that are all reminiscent from her training, they whirl down to Aiko's mid-leg and are much like velour tights. Aiko deosn't mind what attire on her feet that she wears – the traditional ninja sandals in black or even barefoot, though she prefers the sandals much more.

Personality: Impish and optimistic, Aiko is a reincarnation of these two words. She's sly, knavish and will usually order people around using this prodigious ability of hers. Aiko teases and makes people think less of their selves, while her frequency of sarcastic remarks will only make the first-impression of her worse. Aiko is one of those people that can turn the world upside-down with a small hint of a smile, grin, smirk, or just her lips turned upward in a happy position. She's blindly optimistic and never takes a chance to make the scenario more clement, sunnier. Aiko is dubbed as the "Bawling Baby," or in a manifested definition "A cry baby," how she alleged that name, was that in every doleful or inadequate moment, she does one simple thing, she crys her heart out. One may see this annoying, but Aiko will particulary barricade the tears herself, not for any known reason. She's upbeat and perky, and tries to make the best of the situation, another recitation, if any someone of something is abiding to be rapacious to her, she'll also lament over the situation. In precise, Aiko is hyper, acts like a toddler, is buoyant, and not aghast to bellow. Her own language, is definitely her eccentric deameanor, where she says -chan at the end of everyones names, including boys, which mentions her character.

She's upbeat and perky, and tries to make the best of the situation, another recitation, if any someone of something is abiding to be rapacious to her, she'll also lament over the situation. In precise, Aiko is hyper, acts like a toddler, is buoyant, and not aghast to bellow. Her own language, is definitely her eccentric demeanor, where she says -chan at the end of everyone's names, including boys, which mentions her character while addressing herself in third person. Her personality clashes with brooding ones and makes them greatly annoyed, especially if they hate perky people. To Aiko, life is a game that must be always of fresh moves and continuous entertainment, free of routine. Changing horses in the middle of the stream is another small quirk for Aiko, which makes decision making, and sticking to a decision, particularly hard for her. Aiko is incredibly imaginative, thinking of new ideas almost all of her time, but concentrates on the good stuff in life. Only thinking of optimistic things, you could address her as a "Goody goody." In fact, she doesn't think of herself at all, only as "Aiko-chan," herself.

Aiko is typically full of creative energy and enthusiasm with a great inner drive, which is expressed through action, to prove her. She is constantly seeking experiences which give her the opportunity to prove she is the best. There is little timidity to be found in Aiko, she is a confident "doer" who frequently forges ahead regardless of the consequences. However, this impulsive behavior can sometimes lead to problems because Aiko tends to leap before she looks. She is not afraid to take risks or gamble in order to have her way. If Aiko's impulsive drives can be tempered, then she will accomplish much and become a successful leader. She constantly seeks to be the best at whatever she does and would rather have fame and fortune than material wealth. Aiko is willing to sacrifice time, and even their lives for those they love. And that is the character of Wasuremono, Aiko.

History: What is the secret to the beads on Aiko's kimono? No one, not even Aiko knows, only the ones of the Motoko clan know of it. They gave one to her everyone time she cried, and onto the kimono it went, it was a tradition for the family. While they also only know, there is no one as Wasuremono Aiko in their eyes, only Motoko Niji. The secret of Aiko is that; when at the age of 4, Aiko had a severe case of amnesia. This all started out when Aiko was young, he parents were cruel and rude. She thought about running away, about 16 times through the first four years. But she soon got used to it. When Aiko cried seven time; she received the beads, one by one each. And this started because of a death. We will be referring to Aiko as Niji. Niji had an aniki, and his name was Motoko Takato, he was a shinobi. In the Motoko family, there was an odd law for women not to become kunoichi, so they spent their time doing hosehold duties. Niji's life was carefree, she had nothing to worry about. That is, until "he," died.

When Niji received the new of the death, she was attending an etiquette class run by the nanny, Naoko. No one was supposed to tell Niji of this, until she older and more mature. But one careless person ruined the plan. He, he pratically dashed to the room and yelled in panic "Takato's dead!" Then it hit Niji like a shuriken, her aniki was dead! That gave Niji the first bead, when she was 3. It was a turquoise color. Naoko was the one to comfort her the first time. The second time, she saw some chuunin walking down the path, they were laughing. It reminded her of her brother, he was kind, sweet, and protected Niji, he always made her laugh. Niji cried again, though she had no one to comfort and she sat under a tree, sobbing her beautiful eyes out, she gave a bead herself, one that was an olive color. The third time was ironically, Niji tripping on a rock when taking a stroll in the garden with her mother. She received a orange-colored bead.

The fourth time she cried was at Takato's funeral, there to comfort her was Naoko once again, she received a scarlet bead. In the same day, she received the fifth and sixth bead. The fifth bead was because she cried once again during the funeral, after wiping up her old tears, another turquoise bead. The sixth was when people shared their experiences with Takato, Niji never had the memory to remember them and didn't come up, which made her receive the sixth bead, another olive- colored one. Right after the funeral, Niji went running, farther and farther away from home. Only with her was a gold bead and herself. But Niji wasn't looking where she was going, she was just running as she could.

And she ran into a tree.

Normally this is supposed to be funny and comedic, but the impact of it was severely large. Niji cried the last time, and put the bead onto the kimono. But right after putting the bead on. Bam. She began to get amnesia. First, she forgot about the secret of the beads. Then, she forgot her name. And for a period of time, Niji only remembered how cruel her parents were to her. This triggered the loss of her soft-spoken personality, and she became a doll. She ran and ran until she came across a shiny, metal object. The engraving on it was "Ai," or love. She liked the tone of the name and named herself Aiko. She kept running until she arrived at the gates of Konoha, it only took a day. The clan's house was near Konoha, but the stamina of Aiko made it longer. She asked to see the Hokage, as the etiquette lessons she took resolved in learning about the Country of Fire. On the way, she saw a women, crying on the bench in the town.

Aiko asked, "What's wrong?"

The women replied to her "My only son died on a mission, being a shinobi." Aiko felt sorrow for the lady and thought of an offer, one to help both Aiko and the lady. "Ano sa, ano sa! I can be your daughter!" This came out of Aiko's mouth. Though it was random, super-random, the women agreed to the offer Aiko made. Aiko learned the women's name was Wasuremono Akane. She excelled in the Taijutsu of Kyusho-jitsu, or the art of attacking the pressure points. True, Aiko didn't learn the methods only after a year, but she has been making big progress. The woman was optimistic, and was like a virus, as the perkiness spread to Aiko. And this is what became of Motoko Niji, now Wasuremono Aiko.

Bloodline Limit: Aiko deson't have a bloodline limit, as she lost all of her knowledge during the incident, nor chances of a bloodline limit are showing up in Aiko's life.

Form of Taijutsu: Aiko has about only dedicated herself to Taijutsu and a bit of Genjutsu. The Taijutsu Aiko uses is called Kyusho-jitsu, or the art of attacking pressure points. Kyusho-jitsu is somewhat hard to master, because the pressure point must be hit at the correct angle and direction but it is possible to gain dramatic results with relatively little force. Part of it is devoted to healing and revival by striking pressure points that correlate to nerves and organs throughout the body. But the fighting part of it is that being able the dislocate the nerves connected to the body, or shut them down. This makes the opponent unable to use the body part. Though, Aiko hasn't mastered this and can only shut down the nerves for about five minutes, though training will make it stronger.

Ninjutsu: For some odd reason that is unknown, Aiko can't use ninjutsu.

Genjutsu: Magen: Kumadori Ikijigoku [Colored Living Hell]; Aiko begins the needed hand seals and soon, there is a symphony of color surrounding the opponent, Aiko can use this Genjutsu to show the opponent anything, their worst fears and all that. The colors the opponent will see will be neon and can't be released by Kai, only a pretty large amount of blood. While the opponent is in the illusion, Aiko can hurt him or her, or even block their pressure points in this time.

Host/Follower: Follower

Class: Chuunin, just became one actually, this is because she had arrived at the academy quite later then the other students, but showed a deal of talent, just barely passing the test. At first the instructor didn't allow her and then, he was in a hospital bed.

No more sign ups, we have enough people to start. This will be a third person RP. Everyone is going to be somewhere in Konoha getting ready for the journey, then we will all meet at the gates of Konoha.

IC:Ochai sat on his bed, looking at the mirror in the open door leading to the bathroom. As he looked at his reflection, he thought about this journey and how it would turn out. "What if we fail to defeat the Akatsuki? The villages will all perish underneath the Akatsukis rule. And what if we die on this mission?" Ochai thought to himself.

"Ochai, are you ready to set off on your mission?" Asked Ochai's mom, Hinata who had just walked into his room. "Yea, i'm just getting a couple things." Ochai replied while leaning over to a near-by desk. Ochai grabbed his black headband and tied it onto his head. "Thanks mom, for coming over to support me." He exclaimed. Hinata grinned "Of course, I would want to see my son before he set off on such an important mission." She said, covering how much she was worried about him leaving and possibly not coming back.

Ochai got up off his bed and walked through the door with his mom. "Don't worry. When I come back, the Akatsuki will have been defeated and peace will be back." Ochai promised to his mother.

As soon as Ochai walked out of his house, he headed straight for his house's training grounds. "Mom, i'll be training for a while before I leave. But could I get you to do something for me? Could you go to the shop and get me some weights." Ochai asked. Hinata looked confused. "Why would you need weights at a time like this?" She asked. "I want to put them on my legs, that way I will be able to make even stronger blows to the enemy." "Oh, alright." Hinata agreeably replied. As his mother left for the shop, Ochai pulled out some dummys and began to train.

"Hmm..."

"What?"

"Nothing."

Hiruga glared at his long-time 'babysitter', folding his arms and pouting, "Tell me!"

"Nothing!" Kanan insisted, waving her hand as if swatting away a pesky fly. Hiruga stamped his little feet and wailed, "TELL ME TELL ME TELL ME-"

"Gosh! Alright! Alright! You have mud all over your butt!" Kanan sighed, slapping her forehead and Hiruga blinked, twisting his torso around and walking in circle's, trying to assess the damage, before he glared at Kanan again.

"And you were going to let me walk around all day like this!" He marched himself back home, nose held high and back arched back. Kanan smiled a little before turning around. It was the perfect way to say goodbye- for now at least. Kanan wasn't sure if she'd be coming back, even if she survived this odd mission. Lightly treading and somewhat skipping her way up a mountain trail, she took in the scenery around her, feeling as if she were saying goodbye to places she'd known for forever. It wasn't long before Kanan found herself standing in the middle of a small clearing- an old cemetary.

"Obaa-chan," Kanan sat in front of a smooth obsidian stone with her legs placed casually on her right, "Did you hear? I'm going off to beat off the Akatsuki. The people you hated, remember? I thought I should visit you before I left, because I'm thinking of going off to look at the world after the mission is over. I wonder if they'll see me as an enemy though..." Kanan sweatdropped and gave the grave a bright smile, "Ah, but, I should think positive, it'll be bad if I jinx it this early! I'm sorry I didn't bring any flowers with me this time, I was in a hurry. I couldn't hang around home with Jii-chan, because Hiruga would've seen me and my discreet goodbye plan would've been undermined. I promise I'll come back sometime though, and I'll plant a whole garden for you- how's that?"

Kanan finished her conversation and sat in a comfortable silence, glancing around at all the other graves. She didn't recognize a single one but her grandmother's, and had never bothered to look. Even now, she didn't try to make out the names, just looked at the different shapes and sizes of them. Cemetary's always made Kanan feel a little droopy during the day. She saw it fit to stay here until it was time to go. Jii-chan had already sent her off, and it would be torture for him for her to return.

Kanan would stray from home and village, from now on.

"Eight Trigrams!" Ochai yelled out as he raced toward one of the dummies that he had set out. "Two palms!..Four palms!....Eight palms!....Sixsteen palms!...Therty two palms!....Sixty four palms!" Ochai fiercely yelled while attacking the dummy with sixty four blows.

Ochai threw three kunai straight up into the air above him without hesitating. As they came back down with accelerating speed, Ochai took a stance and as soon as the kunai came within an inch of him, he yelled out a technique. "Rotation!" The kunai stopped dead in their tracks. Ochai began to spin in a three sixty with a yellow spear around him.

As it let up, the kunai fell to the ground. Ochai looked over to a mirror which stood on a wall and used his byakugan. Ochai noticed that his chakra was almost gone. "Hey...Aracudo. Let me have some chakra." Ason thought to himself. "You know, you shouldn't wast your chakra on training all day. And besides, we will have to leave in a while. I know, I just want to go over some of my techniques before we leave....Very well."

After the conversation with the eight legged Aracudo, Ochai slowly began to feel an immense amount of chakra in him. He looked at the mirror and noticed all the chakra. "Thanks." Ochai turned to a different dummy and ran to it. Once Ochai came within a couple of feet, he bent to the ground, lifted his leg and kicked the dummy into the air.

Ochai, now leaning on the ground suddenly disappeared and reappeared behind the dummy. A clear white webbing slowly began to gush out of Ohcai's pours on his hands. They soon wrapped around the dummy and Ochai grabbed the mummy dummy. "Primary Death!" He yelled. Ochai and the dummy then began to spin at an intense speed in the air and began to fall to the ground.

Right before hitting the ground, Ochai let go of the dummy and jumped from the wrapped dummy and landed safely on the ground. "Ochai!" A voice yelled. Ochai turned his head and notices his mother. "I got those weights." She said while picking up her left hand. "And I also picked up some extra things. They are in this bag." She said while pointing to the bag she had in her right hand.

Before Ochai reached into the bag, his mother swatted his hand away like a fan. "But, you can't see what they are now. You must wait for the right time." "Well, how do I know when to use them if I don't know what they are?" Ochai annoyingly asked. His mother smiled. "Trust me, you will know." "What ever." Ochai said while taking the weights and placing them on his legs. "Thanks again mom." "No problem Ochai." Ochai then looked up at the sky. "I can't beleive today, I will be going on a life changing adventure...It's going to be so fun." His mother, Hinata smiled, again covering her scared thoughts.

 

[Pikabloo]

"Naoki-kun," the elderly lady spoke. The old lady began to sway backwards and forwards on her rocking chair. It made an almost unbearable squeaking noise. Naoki, ready to leave with his backpack, had one of his hand on the door knob, and halfway through twisting it, turned his head slightly and looked back with one eye at her. She continued, "You don't plan on leaving, without telling her, are you?"

"Of course I'll tell her," he replied. He smirked, "Or else I'd have to bear with her haunting me for the rest of my life." The old lady laughed. Naoki turned to face straight forward, tightened his grip on the door knob, and fully twisted it.

"Be careful out there, Naoki."

"Don't worry, I will. I'm fully able to take care of my self now …" Naoki looked down at his chest, and held the pendant with his free hand. The piece of metal gleamed brightly, even in the dark room where he stood. This pendant hung on a black chain around his neck. "I'll go and 'save the village' or whatever… After I visit her." He closed his fingers tightly on the metallic pendant, engraved with his family name; Shuunjou. Without looking back, Naoki released his grip from the cold, silver pendant. He pulled on the doorknob he twisted, opening the door. And without saying anything else, walked through the open door, into the open light of day. And still without looking back, he slowly closed the door. He seemed to mouth the words, "good bye," but no sound came out. And once he had closed the door, he knew that he would not be able to come back, until he had done what he needed to do.

---

"Onee-san." Naoki looked down at a pale gray stone, carved with his sister's name. This stone was only one of a few dozen in the small, Shuunjou clan cemetery. The clan believes that after death, everyone with the same family name should be able to meet each other. And by placing their bodies near each other, their souls would be able to find each other in the after life.

"You're so lucky," Naoki said, with a slight hint of jealousy in his voice. "You're so lucky to be able to see Otou-san and Okaa-san again." He smiled and sat down on the grass in front of the stone. "I do hope you found each other…" His parent's bodies were never found after they had died. Instead of having a proper burial stone like his sister, they have two, black, memorial stones instead, one on either side of his sister's pale grey stone.

"Oh yeah! I almost forgot…" Naoki placed his backpack in the space in front of him. He opened it, and shuffled his hand inside. He felt the inside of his bag to find a spherical object with a rough skin. His face lit up as he pulled it out of his bag. It was a normal, round orange. "Hehe… I don't know if they have oranges up there, so I thought I'd bring you one." He place it on the stone. At that moment, a gentle breeze blew from behind him. Receiving this as a reply from her, he smiled.

"Heh. I knew you'd like it." Naoki looked up at the sky, and shuffled around until he felt that he was comfortable position to sit. "Well, the real reason I came here is to tell you about something... Important."

 

[typeZERO]

Daisuke looked outside as he packed up his important stuff. He ate some of his mother's eggs as he went outside to train. He soon arrived at the local department store and went in to buy some things. He was looked at by the locals and greeted him nicely. He bought some weights and some contacts for his eyesight. Someone then took his wallet and he went crazy. "Grrrrrr.....Give it back!!!!!" He yelled as he raised his hand. Water rose and trapped the person. "Ah! Okay okay! Here!" The person said as he threw the wallet back. Daisuke let the man go and went back to the counter. "Anyways , $20.00 right?" The women at the counter as she was paid and gave Daisuke the bag filled with the bought contents. He walked out and to his favorite training spot , the Hokage monument. "Okay , let's get this started!
*ten minutes later to Telepathic's time.*
"Phew! That was a good workout!" Daisuke said with a wide grin. He walked to the memorial and rested against it for a bit.

As Ochai stared at a passing cloud, his unlce Neji approached the area with his sun, Tenai. "Hello Ohcai." Ochai's uncle gratefully said while bowing to Ochai. Ochai changed his focus to his uncle and bowed back in respect. "So you came too?" Ochai asked. "Yes, we wanted to see you before you left."

Ochai then turned his head to look at his cousin Tenai. Tenai and Ochai have always competed with each other, trieing to be better than the other. They aren't what some would say, friends. They are rivals more than family.

"And you? I know you didn't come for me." Ochai exclaimed to his cousin. "Hmph, your right for once. I only came to train." Neji turned to his son. "Hah! It didn't seem like you wanted to train this morning. You were the one who woke me up just to come here." Ochai and Tenai stared into each others eyes for a brief minute. This was a very rare moment where the two of them actually cooperated and liked each other. But it only lasted for that one minute.

"Yea right, father. Your just imagining things, again." Tenai finally replied to his father. "Oh, so you admit that you don't train?" Ochai said. Tenai's focus went straight to Ochai. "Fine, then how about a little training session before you leave?" Tenai asked. "I think I can add a little schooling before I leave, sure." Ochai replied.

As Tenai reached one end of the training field, he spoke. "Enough talk." Once Ochai got to the other end, he replied. "Now your right for once." As the two of them took a stance, Neji lifted his arm. "Begin!" He yelled. At the sound of his uncle's voice, Ochai sped forward. His cousin did the same.

As the two got closer, Ochai began to coat his hand with webbing. Then as soon as the two came within ten feet of each other, Ochai began his attack. "Byakugan!...Draining fist." Ochai pulled his right arm back and forcefully pushed it toward Tenai. As soon as Ochai attacked Tenai, he turned to dust. "A clone?" Ochai thought before he noticed the rest of the clone. It was no ordinary clone. It was like Ochai's Web clone, but with weapons.

As the weapons closed in on Ochai, Tenai appeared behind Ochai, leaving him no place to run. Then as Tenai hit Ochai with his fist, webbing began to sprout out of him revealing that this Ochai was a clone. "It's draining my chakra!" Tenai yelled. Ochai appeared in front of Tenai. He pulled his arm back and threw it at Tenai but stopped after coming within an inch. "I win!...Again. Wanna know why? Because I actually train." Ochai braggingly exclaimed. "What ever." Tenai angrily replied. Neji came forward and put his hands on each jounin's shoulder. "What do you say about some food?" Hinata then spoke up. "Oh, I can make you some of my special ramen with my secret ingreediant." Ochai's heart almost sprang out of his mouth. "Do you even have to ask? You make the best ramen, plus it's free." Before Hinata even agreed to making ramen, the three boys ran to the kitchen. Hinata smiled. "What a faimily."

 

[Scarlet Weather]

Anyone passing by the monument of the Hokages on the day of the beggining of the final effort to defeat Akatsuki would have seen an interesting sight. A tall, thin teenager with his eyes closed was standing on the chin of the face of the third Hokage, his eyes shut in concentration, and his mouth pulled into a grim, straight line. He was, quite obviously, upside down, and inside he was secretly afraid that his head would burst from all the blood flowing into it before he completed the exercise. Still, he continued to hang on, releasing chakra from his feet at a steady rate in order to cling to the bottom of the stone face's beard. Minutes passed, until finally, he released his hold, flipping in mid-air as he plummeted from the monument until he landed feet-first on the ground, and after taking several deep breaths and dusting off his uniform, simply walked away.

About half an hour later, in front of the Hokage's desk.

"What? What do you mean, 'They're authorized and you aren't'?" Momoji demanded angrily, staring at the old woman in front of him. She was old, though you wouldn't know it at first glance. The entire village of Konoha was aware that the seeming youth that surrounded Tsunade was nothing but an illusion, kept up by her transformation jutsu.

"I mean what I said. Only those with the newly-discovered beasts have been given jurisdiction to fight Akatsuki offensively. Everyone else is needed for missions in order to keep up our flagging finances. Would you rather have Akatsuki succeed, or charge off blindly after them and get yourself killed?" The Hokage replied, an unmistakable tone of sarcasm in her voice.

"Hey, watch it granny," Momoji threatened, "If I were you I wouldn't talk as if those kids have my level of skill. In all modesty, they're much lower in rank then I am, and even with the amount of power they control, they can't have as much experience as a jounin would. You need to send at least two with them, and I-"

"You aren't doing anything except returning to duties as usual," Tsunade interrupted. "Do I make myself clear?"

Momoji struggled to keep his voice even as he replied "Crystal, Tsunade-sama." He turned to leave, before whirling around and playing his final card in a last-ditch effort to be assigned to the guidance of the five new jinchuuriki. "Please Tsunade. I failed to protect Naruto-sama. At least give me the chance to avenge him."

Tsunade readied a reply, but before she let it escape her mouth, she closed it immediately, shaking her head. For just a moment, Momoji thought he could make out the gleam of a tear in her eye, but then it vanished. Lifting her head to face him, she set it into a grim, emotionless mask before replying "Fine. If killing the people who murdered my sucessor is that important to you, leave the village and go with those kids. I warn you- when you come back, if I hear that you weren't at least a little bit useful, I am going to assign you every dull and annoying mission that I can think of, no matter how strong you get. Is that clear?"

Momoji nodded. "Once again, crystal. Don't worry Tsunade-sama. I won't dissapoint you." Immediately he moved his hands together in a familiar seal, focusing his chakra into opening his hole. He stepped backward quickly into the whirling cave of darkness behind him before Tsunade had a chance to change her mind, and in the blink of an eye, he was on the first floor of the building, directly beside the door.

Mere moments later...

Momoji sighed as he leaned against the gates of Konoha. Where were those five kids who were supposed to be the only force able to oppose Akatsuki? It figured, he supposed. Kids never understood the importance of a mission. They were probably still eating breakfast.

 

[Tensaiji]

Inochi awoke late, as always. "No! I'm going to be late once more!" He gotten ready which took him half an hour to get changed, etc. He ran towards his mother, Ino and he gave a kiss on the cheek. "I come back in a few months mom. Make sure nothing happens bad to my flowers, okay?" He ran out the door and noticed that he was running through a bunch of animals.

One tiger-like kitten caught his attention alot. Its mother was caught in a bear-trap, trying desperatley to defend her child. Inochi felt bad, so he helped the mother. He strangled as he forced the deadly weapon to open. Finally, it opened and the big cat ran towards her child. She gripped her teeth into the kittens fur and was getting carried away. For some odd reason, the kitten almost looked dead for awhile. "Am I imagining things?" Inochi said to himself as he sprinted towards the village to get to the gates early.

"Good-bye everyone!" Ochai yelled back while waving to his family who were now three yards away. "Good-bye." Ochai whispered to himself. Ochai turned his body around and walked toward the gates of Konoha.

As he walked through the busy streets, Ohcai noticed that alot of shinobi doing really boring jobs. But in the end, we must do anything to raise our countries funds back up.

In atlest an hour, Ochai arrived at the gates of Konoha and noticed someone already there. "Uh, hey. I'm Ochai. Are you going on the same mission as me?" Ochai asked while sitting down on the grass that was wet because of morning dew.

Ochai grabbed into his weapons bag on his right leg and took out a kunai knife. He then began to poke very small, almost undetectable holes in his sandal. "That should do." Ochai said while standing back up. "So, does your body inhabit a legged beast?...I contain "The Eight Legged Aracudo. I can create webbing that can drain someone else's chakra. And it doesn't have to drain chakra, the webbing can also just be sticky, almost indestructible webbing. You know, I heard that the thing that the Akatsuki does to take out a tailed beast takes five days. To bad that it has been five days since they took Naruto Uzumaki. I guess that he is gone. I feel sorry for him. I guess they didn't give him enough security." Ochai said to the stranger.

 

[typeZERO]

I ran up to the gate and saw a couple of other ninjas there. I guessed they were one of the five new jinchuurikis and a jounin at least. I greeted them nicely and put out my hand. "Name's Daisuke , Syuryu Daisuke." I said with a grin.

 

[Loki]

OOC: Because it is only one post, I'd like to take the incentive and ask you to write a WHOLE. Lot. More. Then what you just posted Lightning Rider. My IC comes soon. The next short post ends in a warning.

IC: "Uh-oh. I have to go now, Obaa-chan. Otherwise I'll be late!" Kanan gave the black grave a bright smile before darting to her feet and speeding off, jumping from tree to tree, taking a short cut to the gate. She skidded to a stop, after she jumped off the roof of a nearby shop, that was in her direct path from the shortcut to the gate. "Good morning!" Kanan straightened, casually saluting the three that stood in front of the gates already. It seemed as if she wasn't exactly late. But she wasn't exactly the first one there either. Kanan mentally sighed, wondering why these people were so eager to go on such a troublesome mission.

"Are we still waiting for a few more?" Kanan put her hand against her forehead as a visor as she looked down the single road that lead from the gate to the heart of Konohagakure, "I guess I'll introduce myself after everyone's here then! No use saying things twice, right?" She gave the three a quick grin and turned back to scouting, still smiling. It was easy to mask disappointment with smiles. The two boys looked rather stupid, no offense to them. Now, that wasn't to say that Kanan had much faith in the opposite gender in the first place, but still. They hardly looked fit to be going off to defeat the world's most prominent enemy. But then again, a Kunoichi like her wasn't exactly classified in that flock either.

"Ah- Uh-oh." Kanan felt around her neck and shoulders, waist and hip. Uh-oh.

"Ack!" Kanan looked down and realized she was missing something: "My messenger bag!! Uhhhh.... I'll uh, go get it! I'll only be a second!" Kanan ran off, devising a way to get her messenger bag without anyone seeing her.

"Ah, Kaa-chan." Kanan stopped short, having unconciously passed an old man who stood atop a lamp post, "I was just about to go find you."

"J-Jii-chan!" Kanan spun around, seeing the crinkled old man standing tall for the first time since she'd seen him, holding a gray messenger bag, "I-I'm sorry for being so careless, I forgot my things!!"

"It's quite alright. You seem to be in good hands, so that eases my mind a tad."

Kanan sweatdropped. Wait. He didn't mean those pathetic shinobi at the gate, did he? To her, they didn't look powerful at all. But she remained silent on that subject, thanking the old man, "Thank you thank you thank you! I'll see you when I get back then!" Kanan smiled and returned to the gate in a flash, apologizing to the other three shinobi for the wait.

Gotou smiled, his wispy white moustache and beard spreading out with his face, "Maybe Kaa-chan. Maybe not. An old man like me; who knows how long I can wait for you." He turned and hopped off the lamp post, almost with the grace he once had as an ANBU shinobi. Almost.

 

[Dark Night]

Whoa! Didn't take this RP long to get started. Sorry for the late post!

"Ugh! Can't I go now dad?! I'm going to be late and they're probably going to leave without me!" Shikakum yelled at her father Shikamaru as he sent a shadow racing toward her. THe dark purlpe haired girl jumped up in the air to avoid the shadow and reached into her pocket to grab kunai to throw at her father. He let the Shadow Possesion Jutsu go and blocked the weapons comeing at him. Before Shikakum landed she let 2 tails go flying at her father to capture him in a trap. She twisted her body as she sped for her father as well, the tails still going straight for him. He avoided the tails and Shikakum but hadn't realized that she had used the Shadow Clone Jutsu and the daughter comeing at him was just a decoy, the real Shikakum sped around him, stirring up a dirt so he couldn't see, and attacked him before he could focus the chakra for the Shadow Possesion Jutsu. He blocked a couple of her blows, but she was able to land a couple of blows, enough to knock him over. Shikamaru landed on the dirt, a puff of smoke coming up as he fell. Shikakum stopped and reached down to help her father up. "Getting a slow in your old age dad?" She teased as he dusted the dust off of his clotheing. "Aw! You're getting to good, it's so much of a drag now that you can beat me!" He said as he smiled at me. She smiled back, kissed him on the cheek, and hugged her father as Shikakum grabbed up her bag, and headed off toward the Konoha gates. As she raced for the gates, she could hear her dad yelling at her to stay safe. She turned around, running backwards and waved at her dad, and mom, as she came walking out of the house to see her off.

As Shikakum reached the gate, she was glad to see there were others there. 'Good! I'm not late! They didn't leave without me!' She thought as she came up on the three boys at the gate. She recognized them, only able to remeber one of their names, seeing as she grew up with him. THe others she recognized from around the village. "Hey guys! How's it going?" She asked with a huge smile on her face.

Aiko twisted, Aiko turned, she snored. "Aikooo-channn~" a squeaky voice had bellowed loudly, "Wake up~ wake up~ wake up~!" the voice started to crack and had become more angry-like, with every moan and groan Aiko made, this had only made her angrier and angrier. Before long, her face was a instense red, and vigorly sweating. "Ai ~ ko ~" her voice in breaths, the final stage was coming. "AIKO WASUREMONO WAKE UP~ kuso..." In fact, this is what happened to Akane everyday, Aiko's attention span and love of annoying people had stumped her again. But luckily, before she could get "The Slapper," Aiko had woke up. "Uhh~ mehh~" her voice was drowsy and groggy "Ah?! Kaa-chan~! Good morning~~" Aiko put on her ever-so-innocent smile and quickly climbed out of bed, before her Kaa-chan could have a hold of her.

Tsunade ~ the Godaime Hokage had assigned Aiko to a mission to protect the five new jinchuuriki, what ever that very~ long word was. Tsunade had chosen Aiko for the taijutsu that Aiko has, that can immobolize the enemies body parts, also, her 'hypness and perkiness' might even scare the Akatsuki. Aiko grinned as she put on her kimono, glancing at it, her eyes watery, but shrugging it off and going to put on her pouch, she checked. Lots of kunai, shuriken, her slingshot, and Ai. She grinned all good and working. She put on her weights, which to her, were only used in a emergency, when people "wanted~" to get hit with them by an "unfortunate accident~" she dashed to the gates.

Before her eyes, there was about six people there, and they all looked older, and more "ninjutsu-y~" than Aiko who was the youngest girl in the flock. But then, a grin plastered on her face, and she cherrfully said; "My name is Wasuremono Aiko~!" But you can just call "Aiko, Aiko-chan~" the truth was, Aiko spoke in third person as well, she might as well get hit by one of her own weights..

 

[Scarlet Weather]

It was enough that the idiot in front of him had asked him whether he contained a beast. Enough that he had bragged about him being the jinchuuriki of the eight-legged aracumu, or whatever it was called, enough that he had begun bragging about his superior abilities. But when the white-eyed Byakugan weilder mentioned that he "felt sorry" for Naruto, and wished they had posted "more security", Momoji couldn't take it anymore. He didn't care that this kid might just be the only way to take down Akatsuki and revenge Naruto's death, didn't care that if he killed him it would brand him as a traitor. All he wanted was to rip him apart and leave the bones for wild animals. With a roar, he opened The Hole, reaching his hand into the depths of another world in order to remove a long, curving blade, the kind sometimes called "horse-killers". Launching himself backwards, he focused, opening another hole directly behind him, and exiting his dimension directly behind the jinchuuriki in less time then it took to blink. Without making a sound, he pulled back his arm, ready to strike a blow- and stopped. His heart wasn't really in it. Wordlessly, he let the blade fall to the ground. "I'm sorry," he began, "I didn't mean to get that angry. I was-" his voice faltered, but he forced himself to continue speaking, "I was one of the shinobi assigned to Naruto-sama's protection. I guess you could say we became friends." Suppressing his urge to shed a tear, he finished, "I'm Momoji. Hayate Momoji."

Ochai's eyes flew open and he lowered his head. "Good job Ochai. No, I shouldn't have said anything, sorry." Ochai pulled his head back up and glanced at everyone else who now seemed to be watching. "You know, Naruto could still be alive. Even though it isn't really likely. Someone might have saved him somehow, you never know. Anything is possible." Ochai began to preach, now almost convincing himself that Naruto could be alive. "Thats why we should find the Akatsuki as fast as possible. So, are we all here?" Ochai asked. "Only five people whom two aren't inhabited by a legged beast. So we are missing two people. And I know that the Hokage-sama didn't just send two people with us, so there must be more than two people missing. I hope they hurry up and get here." Ochai said, a little annoyed that people where so late. Ochai then noticed that the person who almost killed him was still sad. "If it sounded like I bragging back then, I wasn't I was trieing to make conversation. And I didn't really know that the Hokage sent anyone to go with us so I suspected you to be a host of a tailed beast. Again, sorry. So can we start over? I'm Ochai hyuuga." Ochai exclaimed, hoping that the man would be less sad.
