Naruto Saigen Roleplay

<r><SPOILER spoiler="OOC"><s>[spoiler=OOC]</s>No worries, nice start by the way. <e>[/spoiler]</e></SPOILER> The weather the last few days had been unrelenting, a situation in which most stayed within their self contained commune and refused to leave for their own safety. However Kotone had seen all...

<r>Izumi had no idea where she was, or what was going on, hardly even aware just how much she was in and out of consciousness. She thought she remembered a voice, dark and sinister even as it tried to be cheerful. It called her resourceful and determined. She wasn't entirely sure what the Devil Voic...

<r>As the group was discussing things among one another, Izumi noticed something. All around them, shadows were approaching, and as they got closer, they had faces. They were far outnumbered, and every one of these individuals clearly outranked them. <COLOR color="#8CAFAD"><s>[color=#8CAFAD]</s>"Uh ...

<r>Kotone couldn't help but to giggle. She could only imagine Akio trying to keep under control some loud mouth kid. She had a hunch that such a thing wouldn't end well, hell it probably wouldn't end well if it was her either. <COLOR color="#CEA3D3"><s>[color=#CEA3D3]</s>"You sure you don't want to ...

<r>Kotone nodded, clearly uneasy by the mention, yet again, of Koukai. Something just felt off about the man and she couldn't place it, except that she didn't like it. This was another reason she was determined to join Akio's crew, she was going to try and keep herself between Akio and Koukai, no ma...

<r>Inotenpi didn't seem to be standing idle any longer. As Minoru charged, Inotenpi was making his own move, forming the hand seals and just throwing a punch backed by the Meteor Punch Technique as Minoru used his technique. Inotenpi's vision was blurry but his fist wasn't slowing, still aimed for t...

<r><COLOR color="#CEA3D3"><s>[color=#CEA3D3]</s>"Works for me."<e>[/color]</e></COLOR> Kotone replied with a playful smirk. <COLOR color="#CEA3D3"><s>[color=#CEA3D3]</s>"So long as they know that if they give me a hard time, I'm not going to play nice in return."<e>[/color]</e></COLOR> she added, tu...

<r>Kotone wanted to smile at his obvious worry for her, inviting her to travel with them without joining. <COLOR color="#CEA3D3"><s>[color=#CEA3D3]</s>"You know Akio, I used to know girls who traveled with crews like yours."<e>[/color]</e></COLOR> she said, turning to look up at him as she crossed h...

<r>Kenji was smiling as the two corpses fell to the ground, not that Sakaki would be able to see it behind the mask. <COLOR color="#002654"><s>[color=#002654]</s>"Looks like we got a shot at getting you out of here."<e>[/color]</e></COLOR> he said, referring to the shinobi's ability to end a life wi...

<r>Ren nodded. <COLOR color="#8b0000"><s>[color=#8b0000]</s>"I've done what I can to fight against the preconceived norm of Kiri. No one thought I would make it past Genin, no one thought I would be free. Certainly no one thought I'd be sitting here, a member of the famed Seven. I've broken every id...

<r>Hayato took the offered hand before bowing to Akio. <COLOR color="#548B54"><s>[color=#548B54]</s> "And with that, I need to make sure your friends are well settled."<e>[/color]</e></COLOR> he said with a smile as he turned to leave.<br/> <br/> Kotone watched him go, feeling the change in the air....

<r>Ren couldn't help a bit of a chuckle as he asked her how she was doing. <COLOR color="#8b0000"><s>[color=#8b0000]</s>"Fairly exhausted myself. That's the first time I've resorted to that technique, it proved more of a drain than I expected."<e>[/color]</e></COLOR> She sighed and glanced at the sk...

<r>Akane thanked the man, unable to contain her smile as she turned to follow Amaya and Wana ran up beside her. She pet the animal on the head a moment before prepping her crossbow with another arrow and heading inside with Amaya. <COLOR color="#D62828"><s>[color=#D62828]</s>"So it eats glass... is ...

<r>Ren listened carefully to what Hideki had to say but did not immediately reply. It was a good question, and one that had not actually occurred to her. She knew so little about how these things work, she couldn't even be sure of just what the pros and cons of either idea really were though she was...

<r>As Kenji mentioned needing rest, Kotone stood and did a quick visual inspection of his bandages. When she was sure everything was alright she cleaned up the dirty bandages and even poured water from the pitcher and into the glass, leaving it on his bedside table should he wake up thirsty. <COLOR ...

<r>Kotone sat on the edge of Kenji's bed as she thought about what he said. He was right in a lot of ways, she did want to learn more, despite her master's warnings and insistence that she not go anywhere near it. If she learned it and Hayato found out... it was entirely possible that she might not ...

<r>Kotone suddenly looked up at Kenji's offer to teach her, the look in her eyes was guarded, suggesting she wasn't sure if he was being serious. <COLOR color="#CEA3D3"><s>[color=#CEA3D3]</s>"I don't care about power."<e>[/color]</e></COLOR> she told him. <COLOR color="#CEA3D3"><s>[color=#CEA3D3]</s...

<r>Kotone couldn't help a wry laugh as she went about checking Kenji's bandages after his little fit. <COLOR color="#CEA3D3"><s>[color=#CEA3D3]</s>"I'm fairly certain he was referring to the fact that you're a criminal and a murderer, not the fact that you're a shinobi."<e>[/color]</e></COLOR> she s...

<r>Hayato stared at Kenji for several moments but never actually answered his question, except to say, <COLOR color="#548B54"><s>[color=#548B54]</s>"I don't tell my own students such things, I've no reason to tell you."<e>[/color]</e></COLOR> He instead turned his attention back to Kotone and it was...

<r>Kotone saw the hand seals and stared at him as she finished tying off the bandage. <COLOR color="#CEA3D3"><s>[color=#CEA3D3]</s>"Seriously? How stupid are you?"<e>[/color]</e></COLOR> Kotone hissed at him, even as the door to the small room opened and Hayato stepped inside.<br/> <br/> <COLOR colo...

<r>Kotone rolled her eyes when she saw the fresh blood. <COLOR color="#CEA3D3"><s>[color=#CEA3D3]</s>"You should have just let me feed you."<e>[/color]</e></COLOR> she replied as she moved to his other side to work with the bandaging there. <COLOR color="#CEA3D3"><s>[color=#CEA3D3]</s>"I swear you'r...

<r>Kotone was still chuckling at the girl's antics as the family left and Akio tossed her the money. She looked at the bag and turned to hand it to Hayato, surprised when he held up his hand and refused to take it. <COLOR color="#CEA3D3"><s>[color=#CEA3D3]</s>"Why not?"<e>[/color]</e></COLOR><br/> <...

<r>Ren herself closed her eyes a moment as she cancelled her own technique and her skin slowly returned to normal. With a sigh she opened her eyes, making sure to do it slow as that technique took a lot out of her and though she wobbled a moment she managed to stay on her feet.<br/> <br/> <COLOR col...

<r>Kotone was redoing the bandage over his ribs as he referred to her master as a coward, a move he'd know he was paying for when she suddenly tightened the bandage more than necessary. But she didn't say anything. Fact was, Kenji was talking about something she didn't understand herself. She loved ...

<r>Surprisingly, Ren stopped there entirely as her weapon slammed back into it's sheath and she looked at Kasai a moment, noting the cut on his cheek. <COLOR color="#8b0000"><s>[color=#8b0000]</s>"It's best we stop here, Reaper."<e>[/color]</e></COLOR> Ren told him, her other hand resting on the hil...

<r><COLOR color="#CEA3D3"><s>[color=#CEA3D3]</s>"No need to thank me."<e>[/color]</e></COLOR> Kotone replied, smiling down at the little girl and her antics. <COLOR color="#CEA3D3"><s>[color=#CEA3D3]</s>"This is what we do here, we take care of one another."<e>[/color]</e></COLOR> Kotone moved to th...

<r>Ren looked at the man in a bit of surprise, now she knew why he was so silent. She pulled her kunai back to herself, unwrapping it from the neck of the corpse, and resealed it within her wrist as she turned to look at the women. She knew they were no doubt traumatized, and some, if not all, had n...

<r>As Ren pulled the wire tighter and tighter and heard his words, she snarled in response. <COLOR color="#8b0000"><s>[color=#8b0000]</s>"There is no peace for those that deal death and murder, stealing away lives that are not theirs to take."<e>[/color]</e></COLOR> she told him, and as the wire wou...

<r>Kotone couldn't help a little chuckle as she covered her mouth. The little girl was absolutely adorable and at first site of mother and daughter, Kotone couldn't help but to think that this commune was exactly where they needed to be. There were people here who would teach the little girl her arc...

<t>Kotone smiled at Akio in return, however she was not comforted. The moment she'd been taken her mind had been running wild and certain things that were said during her torture simply didn't help matters any. She wanted to think Koukai had accepted her, but the man had simply been hostile from the...

<r><COLOR color="#CEA3D3"><s>[color=#CEA3D3]</s>"I've asked him to teach me, but he refuses."<e>[/color]</e></COLOR> Kotone replied as she stood and went to his side once more, having noticed blood showing through a bandage around his ribs. <COLOR color="#CEA3D3"><s>[color=#CEA3D3]</s>"Keep eating, ...

<r>Kotone shook her head once more, finding the mental image of Akio with such a weapon both humorous and frightening. Most humorous because for some reason her mind saw him singing a happy tune while he did it. <COLOR color="#CEA3D3"><s>[color=#CEA3D3]</s>"I can ask Hayato about it."<e>[/color]</e>...

<r>Naturally the blade did indeed interfere with the trajectory of the weapon, but Ren recovered well enough. Her hands slid across the wire, twisting and pulling at it in order to return it to her hand. For a moment she stared at the man, watching him closely as he seemed to be kneeling almost as i...

<r>Kotone couldn't help a chuckle, shaking her head at his remarks. It really wasn't much like a leader to lose his only weapon. Though for Kotone it really was just more amusing than anything. <COLOR color="#CEA3D3"><s>[color=#CEA3D3]</s>"Well it's probably gone if it fell in that hole..."<e>[/colo...

<r><COLOR color="#CEA3D3"><s>[color=#CEA3D3]</s>"Sure, I'd like to meet Ozu and his family."<e>[/color]</e></COLOR> Kotone replied, glad to get the chance to meet the family she was helping out. It was always good to see new people come to the commune, especially a family like this. So few realized ...

<r>Kotone continued to grin up at Akio and his remarks, sticking her tongue out at him in response. <COLOR color="#CEA3D3"><s>[color=#CEA3D3]</s>"I don't know, I bet it'll require more... maneuvering... in your bed."<e>[/color]</e></COLOR> she remarked suggestively, but still kept her arms around hi...

<r>It took everything Kotone had in her to not only feign sleep, but also not burst into a fit of giggles when Akio damn near broke the bed. She waited several moments before she herself moved, as he was outside by time she did so. She hadn't bothered to change last night and so when she got up all ...

<r>Ren saw him out of the corner of her eye the moment the log appeared. When she saw the flame she first thought perhaps she could jump over them, but also knew that was risky, as was even dodging them. She needed to move in a more guaranteed fashion and as such she turned towards them and moved fo...

<r>Ren nodded as Ido spoke, it would seem he truly knew nothing of her at all really, not what made her who she was after all. <COLOR color="#8b0000"><s>[color=#8b0000]</s>"Then you don't know that I was a slave, did you?"<e>[/color]</e></COLOR> she asked him, turning to watch his reaction. <COLOR c...
