Naruto Saigen Roleplay

<r>Seeing Kuodachi's face take a more serious caste, the Genin settled his feet and prepared himself for the upcoming strikes. He felt a touch worried about having to dodge a wooden stick, but that was more reason to do better. He took one final, calming breath and assured himself he was ready and m...

<r>A spar did sound rather nice; especially if he could work on his speed. Something told him that he would need to be quicker if he was going to last long in a fight. Since he seemed to have left his staff at home, it looked like speed it was.<br/> <br/> <COLOR color="slategray"><s>[color=slategray...

<t>Well, here he was; back at the start. Where it all began. Saburo was a little uncomfortable with coming back into this room. For all he knew, another floor-trap was lying in wait. Then again, he hadn't seen either Kuodachi or Rauji since falling into the basement, so maybe they had made it past w...

<r>Saburo shared the laugh with his friend; he really had looked rather ridiculous a moment ago. But, he couldn't let that get in the way of progress. With a clearing of his throat, he brought himself back to the moment.<br/> <br/> <COLOR color="slategray"><s>[color=slategray]</s><B><s>[b]</s>"I jus...

<r>This was certainly an interesting meal. Saburo was thankful that the boy's attention had been taken from him by the sudden exit of Mizugu. It must have been one of those 'when you gotta go' moments and the Genin felt for the guy. Who knew how long he would be in that stall?<br/> <br/> And with th...

<t>Well. There's blood on the stairs. That was creepy on it's own, but seeing as Mio-sensei was clearly ok, the Genin tried to pay no mind to it. It was more important to accomplish the mission; and to do that, he needed to get to the top of these stairs. Still, he had no intention to step in the bl...

<r>This was certainly becoming an awkward meal. This strange boy had just fed Mizugu a laxative was now trying to rope in Saburo, as well. It was also around now that he realized that a crowd had formed and, even moreso, one woman in particular seemed to be giving a look of warning as Akira offered ...

<r><COLOR color="slategray"><s>[color=slategray]</s><B><s>[b]</s>"That's great!"<e>[/b]</e></B><e>[/color]</e></COLOR> Saburo was so excited that the news was exactly what he thought it was that his smile grew to rival his friend's. They were so close to the mushrooms they were looking. There was st...

<r>Wait. Was that Kuodachi down there? He certainly was excited about something. He was smiling, too. Maybe... maybe he found them? That brought a jump to Saburo's heart. They were finally making progress again! Quickly bringing himself to his feet, he happily formed a single seal and after allowing...

<t>There was a moment of shock as the grooves in the walls caught fire, but what they revealed replaced these feelings with curiosity. It turned out the sounds of metal that he had heard were most likely the sound of chains rattling against.... a cage. Okay, maybe even with the lights on, this place...

<r>A larger room really wasn't doing much to improve Saburo's nerves. There didn't seem to be any light down here; only the few feet in front of him were visible at any given time. At least he could tell the floor was made of stone; it was possibly less likely to be trapped. He hoped so, at least. S...

<r>Unfortunately, it had been too late for Saburo to react to Kuodachi's words of warning, for as soon as he took not even a few steps into the room - relieved to have light from his newest teammate - the floor beneath made the most unsettling cracking sound as it split open. Gravity then took it's ...

<r>Wow, it was dark in there. Like, really dark. It was really, really unsettling, actually. With a slight shiver, Saburo took a moment to let his eyes adjust to the room.<br/> <br/> The room was seemingly very barren in the way of decorations; nothing but a floor, the walls, and the ceiling. Actual...

<r><SPOILER spoiler="OOC"><s>[spoiler=OOC]</s>Since I've hit a bit of a writer's block today, feel free to let Gothmer progress in the mission until he comes back for my character. This is filler for the post I couldn't think up that would not involve any meaningful information.<e>[/spoiler]</e></SP...

<t>For a moment, Saburo was taken aback by the sudden flow of words coming from young Akira, but as he listened to the words, he could understand how passionate the boy was in his dreams. As the words went on and on, the Genin took the chance to put some work to finishing his ramen. It felt good tha...

<t>So, around the corner went Kuodachi, and the newest member of the team climbed quickly to the roof. For a few moments, Saburo shuffled his feet slightly, looking in the directions his team had gone. He wondered if they were finding anything. Chances were, the door was the only way in anyway. It w...

<t>That was a shame. Saburo was actually hoping he would see something, at least. The search would have to just continue. A part of him wanted to press on, to explore a bit more. Maybe try to find a way through the bushes. But, Kuodachi had wanted him to meet back here to share results with his frie...

<r>With a touch of disappointment, Saburo watched as the twins began to walk away from Kuodachi's questioning. It was a shame, but he supposed that occasional there could be missions where little information would be available. So the best the three of them could do is go on in and carefully work th...

<r>Running his hand through his hair, Saburo couldn't help but chuckle slightly. Kuodachi was right; his selection of techniques was easily more defensive in nature than anything else. It did remind him that he would have to work on learning more offensive moves later on. However, he needed to keep ...

<r>With a nod, Saburo began to do a bit of thinking on his own. While it had been a possibility to track down the boars with mushrooms, it had apparently not worked so far. And while not that fond of splitting up again, Kuodachi had a point of splitting up here. Either the boars could be with the mu...

<r>Saburo smiled and nodded. He was excited to get started. Leaving Kuodachi to his own training, he moved off to the side to find one of the larger open spaces in the field. He really needed to work on Ninjutsu. Even though he didn't know many techniques, what he wanted to focus on today was improv...

<t>The appearance of this new boy had surprised Saburo. Of course it had, as he was expecting Sayuri, their normal teammate. But his sensei's explanation put some sense into what was happening. He was a little disappointed that Sayuri was sick and wouldn't be able to make the practice today. But he ...

<r>Saburo was about to happily recount the series of events that led to his discovery of the bushes that the boars surely must be hiding behind, but Kuodachi's reminder that they had to move quickly to catch them spurred him on. With a smile and a possibly over-exaggerated 'follow me' gesture, he sa...

<r>It was unfortunate that Saburo's path had been so easily obstructed. However, it was also quite fortunate as he had the chance to actually think. There was no telling what was past the bushes. Chances were high that the boars were somewhere beyond. They might even be just on the other side. As mu...

<r>A missing ninja? It took a moment for Saburo to realize what boy next to him was talking about. It was something he had heard of a few times, but he had never really thought about it otherwise. He could understand that the boy was trying to change the subject, given that the topic was very awkwar...

<r>Thanks to the direction given to him by Kuodachi, the young Genin had very little trouble finding this training ground. It certainly looked quite good; there were clearly a lot of equipment for various types of practice. Seeing his friend waving from the distance made Saburo smile. He was happy t...

<r>Once again, young Saburo endeavored to be the first to the training field, taking the time to actually have breakfast beforehand. Not knowing the exact nature of the meeting, he decided to play safe with bringing along his staff and shuriken pouch. When he saw the large building looming over hi a...

<t>(OOC: Sorry Seiken, my bad. Also, sorry for breaking the post order, Gothmer)<br/> <br/> But wait! Are these boar tracks? They must be. Saburo was very excited to have found a lead. So excited, he immediately set out to follow the trail. For a moment he thought to go rendevous with Koudachi, to s...

<r>Even after she had walked away, Sayuri's words and smile stayed with him for several moments. She thought that he would be a better ninja than his brothers? A part of him was incredibly happy to hear her say those words. Maybe it was because he hadn't heard many people say that kind of thing to h...

<r>Saburo downed his bite of Ramen as the Akira took an interest in his name. Now that he thought of it, he did remember hearing about a sushi shop. Something very surprising, however, was that the boy had finished his meal so quickly! How could anyone eat so much so fast? Was he talking while eatin...

<r>Boars roll in mud? Saburo hadn't known that. He did know pigs did that, but he had always imagined boars being covered in hair. Still, if his friend considered it a better plan than searching for mushrooms, he was willing to try.<br/> <br/> <COLOR color="Slategray"><s>[color=Slategray]</s><B><s>[...

<r>The boy Saburo had decided to sit next to was certainly a little strange. The other one, with the Udon, was very gracious. Ordering some Tempura for both of his visitors was quite a kind thing to do. Once the order was made, he leaned forward to show his appreciation.<br/> <br/> <COLOR color="sla...

<r>After a few minutes of listening quietly, Saburo simply had to give up on that plan. There was too much noise for him to pick out anything specific. He really wasn't entirely sure what a boar would sound like. Would they even sound like pigs? Either way, he wasn't going to find anything like this...

<r>Lunch time!<br/> <br/> Even on such a cold day, Saburo was more than happy to go out into the village on errands for his mother. Those had all been handled easily, so he had decided to spend some time walking near the forest; something he had decided to do more often after a recent mission. He ha...

<t>Not really finding much else to say, Saburo nodded in agreement with Kuodachi's plans and he followed the younger boy along the path. However, once they had passed beyond the tree line, he already began to wander to the right in search of the mushrooms. He started off close to the path so he coul...

<r>Here it was; Saburo's first mission. It was surprising how what started as a simple question after a game of Shogi led these two to request a mission and end up standing outside the forest of their village in search of boars. Given that the mission info commented on the aggression of the boars, h...

<r>Saburo still had a clump of noodles hanging in his mouth as his sensei raised from her seat. Tomorrow morning for training? At the same time, he felt excited that his training was finally about to get underway, and he felt a little nervous that it seemed to be starting so suddenly. But, he had to...

<r>Saburo was happy that his new friend did have someone that supported her in her training. For some reason, though, he thought that what she had said was somewhat cut-off at the end. However, it might have just been nothing as she continued on to a new question for him.<br/> <br/> However, it was ...
