Naruto Saigen Roleplay

This was the last thing Tousha had wanted. He knew Tsubaki would carry resentment in her after everything that had happened, anyone in their right mind would. But he'd hoped the young woman wouldn't direct any of it back at herself. Tousha could see the goodness in Tsubaki becoming more tarnished by...

Tousha sat quietly in his chair while Tsubaki reprimanded him. His expression settled into a mask of self loathing, the lines on his face darkening with each word. The Kage might have defended himself against the Kunoichi's onslaught of frustrations if he had a leg worth standing on. There wasn't an...

Even half distraught by the fear she was struggling to keep from breaching the surface of her stoicism, Tsubaki began treating him with abilities Tousha admired deeply. He watched her eyes scanning him, suddenly focused by the task at hand. Her need to help those around her could overcome just about...

As Chiaki spoke, Tousha's dark eyes softened. His arms wrapped around her tightly, pulling her even deeper into the hug she was gifting him. For a handful of breaths it felt as though the world had stopped spinning, and that time itself was allowing them a brief respite from its inevitable passing. ...

Ribbon lightning arced through storm clouds in the night, followed soon after by the grumbling of thunder. Rain fell heavy and hard on the sleeping town below. A lavish hotel towered above many of the other buildings, its modern, window-dominated exterior flashing brightly against each strike of lig...

Tousha tenderly kissed at the hand Chiaki rested against his lips and closed his eyes as she softly kissed at his face. He opened his eyes again when he felt Chiaki's butterflies land on his back. Tousha watched as they used what looked like metallic ball bearings to knead at the muscles below his s...

Tousha squeezed Tsubaki's hand in kind and smiled, relieved that the Kunoichi was beginning to believe that this wasn't a cruelly comforting dream that she could get pulled out of at any moment. His tired eyes refused to waver from Tsubaki's face as she regarded the room with dull acknowledgment. It...

Tousha smiled as the Kunoichi reassured him that they had all night. Her hands running along his back seemed proof enough that his enthusiasm hadn't gone unappreciated, either, which helped him relax and feel even more in the moment. The Kage's sudden dose of confidence aside, he was incredibly nerv...

"Yes, ma'am," Tousha said softly as Chiaki suggested that they take things slow. She mentioned that she wanted to 'share some intimacy' with someone who accepted her, and Tousha's gentle kisses quickened at feeling such a kindred bond with another soul. He allowed the Kunoichi's hand to guide his h...

Watching Tsubaki fumble for understanding in silence was a torment. Tousha sat there at the edge of her bed, his expression desperately clinging to gentle patience under the weight of his need to ease his friend's suffering in any way he could, waiting for Tsubaki to break the frantic quiet that pla...

Tousha could only stare, deeply confused, while Chikai came into the bathroom with a fully stocked tea tray, poured him some tea, and then nervously sat nearby while avoiding any amount of eye contact with him. The vagabond arched a brow, looked down at his cup of tea, then back at the Kunoichi enjo...

It had been a long night, much longer than Aya would have liked. Not to mention boring. With her companions dispatched like they were little more than afterthoughts and her scroll in pieces, Aya knew it was time to play nice. The color had somewhat drained from her face when she watched the codger o...

The day was alive with birdsong. Afternoon sunlight poured through the gaps in the white, fluffy clouds lazily passing by overhead, blanketing the world below in a mottled patchwork of shade and sunrays. That sunlight sparkled playfully across the surface of a nearby lake where a single goose paddle...

Say one thing about Tousha, say that he was suddenly very overwhelmed. "O-okay," Tousha stammered as Chiaki mentioned getting him into a bath before peeling away the soaked through clump of fabric that was his Samue jacket. He watched as an organized swarm of butterflies up and carried his duffle ba...

Tousha clung to Tsubaki as if his life depended on it, his body still shaking with each sobbing breath. As the Kunoichi spoke he could hear her voice becoming shallower with each passing word. He didn't even know how to answer her words of affirmation, it was too much to take in. He wanted to tell T...

The Hokage's eyes closed slowly as Tsubaki spoke, her thumb moving in slow, calming circles against his skin. His mouth grew taught and trembled slightly as she said that she didn't care about who he used to be and what titles he held, that he was just Tousha to her. Tousha didn't want to be anythin...

Tousha left the tea house grinning like an idiot. He still felt the Kunoichi's soft fingers pressing against his lips, a vibrant orange eye winking at him before leaving him to his task. He walked through the festival in a haze as people moved here and there, shielding themselves from the heavy driz...

The vagabond's thin, dark eyes tried to take in every small nuance as Chiaki spoke. The way sad understanding touched her smile, how her eyes brightened when she said he didn't have to spend the night alone. He didn't even look down as her deft hand slipped a key to her hotel room into his pocket, h...

Tousha draped an arm over Tsubaki's shoulder as the Kunoichi helped him to the ground, his entire body shaking even with her assistance. He let out a weak groan as he laid flat on the muddy forest floor. A mercifully numbing chill shot through the Kage, the earth's cold embrace seeping into him and ...

For one, horrifying breath, Tousha thought Chiaki had been repulsed by the kiss he'd given her. The Kunoichi's eyebrows remained arched and in a look of shock, she brought her work-worn fingers to touch where his lips had met her skin, and she stared at him with an uncertainty he couldn't place. His...

The thing that wasn't Tousha barely regarded Yuji's corpse as it sank into the shadows, consumed voraciously by the annihilation chakra that skulked within them. Fabric, flesh, bone, metal, it all hissed and disappeared the same. It fueled the apathy radiating from Tousha's technique like kindling t...

Somewhere deep within the shadow silhouetted Shinobi, Tousha's consciousness struggled for control. He could only see what was happening on the outside in distorted fragments, like trying to peer through a window slick with oil. The shock of finding Tsubaki dead at the hands of the bounty hunters a...

Tousha couldn't help but laugh along with Chiaki, relieved that the perplexity he felt at her offer wasn't taken in poor taste. He'd genuinely meant no offense towards the Kunoichi, but Tousha had grown unaccustomed to maneuvering sensitive situations like these. A much younger Nara Tousha would hav...

Melancholy blunted Tousha's cutting stare as the swordsman refused to back down or give him the information they needed. His opponent wasn't wrong, the Nara's hold was slipping. Soon enough the Haruko Shinobi leader would overpower Tousha's waning control over the shadow that stretched between them ...

Silently, with reckless speed, Nara Tousha tore through the storm like a bullet. The wind, rain, and lightning seemed to shy away from the enraged Kage as he flew eastward astride the smoke particle blackbird. He was still silhouetted in shifting darkness that clung to him like a second skin, his sl...

The thin man's eyes widened in terrible realization at the Kage's question. Tousha's thinly shadow veiled face hung in front of the chemist like an abhorrent specter waiting for his answer, its features carved by unrelenting indignation that seeped out of every pore. The mass of shadows that dominat...

Chiaki's perfume, a fragrant blend of lilac and jasmine, filled his senses and dispelled any doubts he had about her intentions as the Kunoichi leaned in close to whisper in his ear. Her voice made his head swim pleasantly with its low, honey-sweet tones, luring him further from the tea shop's quain...

Two Shinobi bolted down the torchlit hallway, running headlong towards the thin man and the roiling deluge of grasping shadows that followed closely behind. One of the Guard Shinobi produced a kunai with mechanical, unthinking ease and threw it just past the thin man's ear as he continued franticall...

Liquid fire scorched a white hot path through Tousha's mind. He begged his body to scream but the most he could manage was widening his eyes, tensing his jaw, and shifting the distant ends of his extremities under the thick leather bands that bound him to the stone slab table. The Kage had never fel...

Tousha shot the Kunoichi a confused look. 'By a human?' He did, in fact, start to ask what she meant by that when Chiaki continued speaking, answering the question before he could ask it. The Vagabond sat there on his overstuffed cushion, intently listening to his companion as she spoke of elemental...

'Tsubaki. Where is she?' Tousha was screaming the question in his mind, begging the words to find their way out of his leaden body. He needed to know where his friend was, if Tsubaki was safe, more than he needed air to fill his lungs. Tousha's need was so desperate he could almost feel the dread b...

The shadowstuck, deformed man's screams radiated outwards from behind Tousha along with Kotaru's searing hot flames. The Kage didn't need to take his gaze off the swordsman still struggling with all his might against his shadow's grasp to know the numbers were more even now. The wild haired Shinobi ...

There was nothing. An endless abyss of inky blackness that pooled at the fringes of consciousness. Someone's consciousness. He was a someone, it seemed. But who? There was a muddled attempt to remember but there was also pain in the effort. It was so much easier to slip back into the primordial dar...

Tousha couldn't believe he was still hanging on to consciousness, infirm as the grip was. He watched through unfocused eyes as Tsubaki swam in and out of his vision and tended to his injuries. She was speaking to him with her unique brand of annoyed concern, though he was finding it difficult to foc...

While Tsubaki tended to Yuji, Tousha was meeting a fusillade of arrows head on. The world shrunk to the size of the surrounding camp as the Kage's entire being focused on deflecting the incoming projectiles. The archer's goal was to kill Tsubaki, that much was clear, but their tactics had shifted in...

Tousha couldn't spare a moment to look back at Tsubaki as he heard her struggling against the effects of the manacle's seal. The bowman moved as one and launched a volley of probing projectiles at the two chained Shinobi. The Kage set his jaw and focused on the incoming ranged attacks, sharpening hi...

The bowman had retreated into the darkness that surrounded the small campsite. Tousha couldn't see him, but he could feel a cold, unyielding obligation to kill pressing down on them both from every direction. Would it be so simple that the young man had given up the hunt and disappeared into the wil...

“ I'll go once you ease up on the seal. ” "What?" Tousha shot back, glancing at the Kunoichi over his shoulder and finding a deadly serious look on her face. He knew it all to well. She'd looked at him the same way the first time they'd met, when she was treating him for a bad case of poisoning and ...

"You might have to save that man's life," Tousha replied, already short of breath. The lack of sleep and constant drain on his chakra was beginning to take its toll on the Nara. Just defending the Kunoichi was taking everything he had, let alone launching any counter attacks of his own. Still panti...

[hr] Five days ago [hr] A flat, almost disc-shaped rock rests precariously on a craggy slope in the wilderness. It tilts and jostles as the roiling storm clouds overhead unleash a torrent of rain, wind, and lightning onto anything unfortunate enough to be in their path. This deluge of rainwater has ...
