Naruto Saigen Roleplay

<r>After drawing Kazuo underground, Riku quickly surfaced just outside of the cage's perimeter and surveyed the situation above ground once more. Kazuo was incapacitated, Lee was moving in, and Mamoru had managed to severely irk Boro. Since her companion seemed to have the lumbering ape under contro...

<r>Riku had managed to capture the most foolhardy of the group as she had expected to do, and tied up another with the task of getting their irate leader out of his earthern confines. Given how observantly she had been watching the scene, their obtuse amount of time spent talking had provided reason...

<r>When Riku was sure Mamoru was settled, she laid the map across her lap and pointed to their destination.<br/> <br/> "<B><s>[b]</s><COLOR color="yellowgreen"><s>[color=yellowgreen]</s>The Black Wings managed to exterminate the only remaining village between here and their supposed hideout,<e>[/col...

<t>Vicious-looking or not, Riku was ready. If they really were as intent on making the kill as it looked, the beasts' caution would only carry them so far; to get to their prey, they would have to somehow dupe all of her traps. While Riku knew that there was a strong possibility for at least one of ...

<r>"<B><s>[b]</s><COLOR color="yellowgreen"><s>[color=yellowgreen]</s>No,<e>[/color]</e></COLOR><e>[/b]</e></B>" Riku replied frankly, her mind momentarily elsewhere. She was still thinking about Mamoru and the hard choice she had made sending him off on his own; she didn't fear for his safety, but ...

<r>[OoC: Sorry Quin, we're just doing a round without you for the sake of the characters.]<br/> <br/> Riku stopped at the sound of Mamoru's voice before turning to look at him. Her expression had gone soft, not unlike it had once upon a time for Kaoru. There was something about his laconic plea that...

<r>The pair had only gotten a few minutes outside of the village before Riku started having doubts. While she was confident about her ideas and plans, she was not confident in the competence of the villagers she had left behind and less so in the thought that these wolves would be stopped by doors i...

<r>The moment permission was granted to her to take the matter into her own hands, Riku was quick to begin working on fortifying the village. It wasn't much, but she scoured the village for tracks, damage to the environment and other clues that gave her an idea about how and where the wolves entered...

<r>It wasn't much of a struggle at this point to take the drunk home. Though it was a bit of a walk, at least Hiroroshi wasn't conscious enough to cause anymore distractions which made the trip very straightforward.<br/> <br/> Upon arrival to the man's quite luxurious home, a dapper fellow in a suit...

<r>"<B><s>[b]</s><COLOR color="yellowgreen"><s>[color=yellowgreen]</s>Yes, we could do both,<e>[/color]</e></COLOR><e>[/b]</e></B>" Riku repeated, her arms folding across her chest. "<B><s>[b]</s><COLOR color="yellowgreen"><s>[color=yellowgreen]</s>The most I can suggest is that I help you set up a ...

<r>"<B><s>[b]</s><COLOR color="yellowgreen"><s>[color=yellowgreen]</s>Excuse me,<e>[/color]</e></COLOR><e>[/b]</e></B>" Riku said promptly, suddenly seeing her chance. A people so adamant for blood were still a people scared of what was to come, it seemed. If she had not seen it in this man's eyes, ...

<r>So the wolves had gone mad. It disturbed Riku to think that there must have been something to trigger a behavioral change like this and she just couldn't put a finger on what it could have been. She had dispatched wolves before but the animals were usually exhausted and weak from their hunger and...

<r>"<B><s>[b]</s><COLOR color="orange"><s>[color=orange]</s>Thaaaat's right, t-take it off. Mmm.<e>[/color]</e></COLOR><e>[/b]</e></B>" Hiroroshi was getting eager and even in his drunken stupor he appreciated Kouhiko's compliance. It wasn't every day that he found himself completely smashed and in ...

<r>It was true that Riku wasn't going to be intimidated so easily. She had fought tougher looking brutes than this five-foot short stack and his band of chumps. Perhaps that was a little harsh and made a poor underestimation of her opponents, but Riku had little tolerance for any sort of bandit-esqu...

<r>[OoC: I don't see why they'd be at another village... you asked for a mission helping the village Fusae is in. Sorry for being unclear...]<br/> <br/> The small band of slavers were entering the outskirts of the village just as Fusae was doing the same. Masa, Kaz and three of the others were plann...

<r>As if Riku wasn't <I><s>[i]</s>always<e>[/i]</e></I> paying attention to every small detail of a situation, but there was only so much she could do when she was given so little information. She was already irked that their greeter assumed they were looking to lead the party when all she did was o...

<r>"<B><s>[b]</s><COLOR color="orange"><s>[color=orange]</s>Awwwwright,<e>[/color]</e></COLOR><e>[/b]</e></B>" Hiroroshi cooed, rolling in against Kouhiko so that he was chest-to-chest with the samurai. "<B><s>[b]</s><COLOR color="orange"><s>[color=orange]</s>Y-you ain't got much to speak of in this...

<r>Riku wasn't worried, or at least it didn't appear as though she was. Her expression was calm as she sat in repose, contrasting the meticulous processes going on in her head. After Mamoru decided he'd be verbose about his order (like always Riku blamed the books), she was well aware that they bein...

<r>Jumping right into things was not Riku's idea of a good strategy. Instead, at the barkeeper's request, she replied:<br/> <br/> "<B><s>[b]</s><COLOR color="yellowgreen"><s>[color=yellowgreen]</s>We're travelers looking for a drink. This is a bar, is it not?<e>[/color]</e></COLOR><e>[/b]</e></B>" C...

<r>Sure, this fellow had the makings of a leader, but Riku matched him--no, surpassed him in every regard. Riku was not in the making, she was a bona-fide leader and that's what these people needed.<br/> <br/> "<B><s>[b]</s><COLOR color="yellowgreen"><s>[color=yellowgreen]</s>Come on, Mamoru,<e>[/co...

<r>Wolves? It hardly seemed likely to Riku, but apparently a rogue pack had somehow found their way into the heart of Tea and began a rampage through one of the villages there. Riku, having caught wind of the village's struggle, had quit all of her plans for that day and prepared to set out to evalu...

<r>The group left silently, their departure also marking the creature's leave. As majestically as it had risen, it slipped back into the sea, its long flukes being the last of its rubbery body to disappear beneath the waves until midnight would arrive again.<br/> <br/> [<COLOR color="green"><s>[colo...

<r>As the beast whipped around its reptilian head to stare directly at the professor, its ear-like fins pressed firmly against its head, the old man realized his foolishness. He could tell by its body language that it was startled and likely to become hostile, and giving up his life's work for one m...

<r>Hiroroshi seemed renewed by Kouhiko's words, as he had heard nothing but "<COLOR color="magenta"><s>[color=magenta]</s>Alright.<e>[/color]</e></COLOR>" Getting a little excited, the drunk managed to pull himself to his feet with a lurching stagger. He swayed back and forth slightly until the inev...

It exasper...

<r>Landing with a bit of a rough tumble, Jiji didn't sustain anything more than a light scrape. He didn't even time to realize it before he was on his feet and running far, far away from Shikatsuko. It didn't seem like they would be causing more trouble anytime soon.<br/> <br/> [<COLOR color="green"...

<r>Ratty looked up at Shikatsuko with tears in her eyes and nodded understandingly. She had little concern for the fact that the genin had taken her mischievous brother hostage, hastily leaving the three boys behind and running her way back home.<br/> <br/> Jiji, however, had finally snapped. He str...

<r>The professor looked surprised when Ryo leaped out and stopped him from approaching the creature. It seemed to be enough to snap him back to his senses to a degree, but part of him still longed to get closer to really study what he was looking at.<br/> <br/> "<B><s>[b]</s><COLOR color="green"><s>...

<r>The children were clearly frightened by this point, but they did not seem to want to stand down. They were huddling closer together, eying Shikatsuko as though asking her if she would really do such a thing. Kenshi and the last boy looked convinced that she would do horrible things to the three o...

<r>The children had started to exchange looks as Shikatsuko went on about the many horrible ways she could punish them. It seemed to scare them a little, but the group didn't stand down. Ratty, on the other hand, remained teary and had taken to huddling in the corner.<br/> <br/> "<B><s>[b]</s><COLOR...

The sounds of the festival were ringing in his ears, his mind groggy, sl...

<r>The Professor listened to Ryo and nodded sagely here and there, his interest genuine and reflected in his steady stare.<br/> <br/> "<B><s>[b]</s><COLOR color="green"><s>[color=green]</s>Very admirable, young sir. Very admirable indeed. Kirigakure is very lucky to have a young soul with aspiration...

<r>As if entering hostile territory, the kids inside the plastic cube had immediately drawn weapons as Shikatsuko stuck her head into their hideout. They were nothing but slingshots, but they had rocks settled in the sling, poised to be shot.<br/> <br/> "<B><s>[b]</s><COLOR color="green"><s>[color=g...
