Naruto Saigen Roleplay

<r>Pure Shinobi of the Mist. That had a fine sound to it. It was something that sang of one's loyalty to the Village. There was something learned, as well; the Fushinkou boy also possessed an affinity for Suiton. Aside from being from one of the large Clans, this boy did seem to have quite the simil...

There was nothing wrong with it; if anything, it w...

Maneuverability was not his greatest a...

<r>It appeared he had a slight misunderstanding. That was no matter; there was no harm, so there was no foul. It was certainly clear that he had the advantage. Though the more he thought of it, maybe the use of his own blade would have been a bit much in the moment.<br/> <br/> Realizing that the Cla...

<r>Masaru nodded his head in understanding. Gathering information was an important aspect to the Village's security. The Fushinkou boy was to be commended for such a goal; even if he was from one of those self-important Clans. Such a thing is what allowed the Shinobi to know what missions were of th...

<r>A surprising turn of events; this Clan-boy was able to deduce what was Masaru's grandest desire. If he truly had a knack for Genjutsu as he said, it would make sense that he had such a mind to him. What was not a surprise to him was that the Village would pair the two of them. It was no secret du...

<r><COLOR color="#80a0ff"><s>[color=#80a0ff]</s><B><s>[b]</s>"Since the Academy."<e>[/b]</e></B><e>[/color]</e></COLOR><br/> <br/> He took a moment to look over his team-member. In addition to how short Shusseji was compared to him, the boy was also appeared to be quite thin. Not quite the kind of p...

<r>That was an odd question to ask. In response, Masaru glanced back to the sword across his back and moaned quietly. Apparently, he had to be more clear in his ability. After undoing the clasps that held it to him, he brought it's white sheathe around in his hand and drew it in a deliberate movemen...

<r>With the inspirational words of Goji's departure, Saburo truly felt that he was capable of success. Even if his opponent hadn't been a Jounin, it was still a wonderful learning experience, the kind of which he hadn't had in a while. The feeling of excitement in battle was something else he had no...

<r>Not a Jounin, then? Probably a Chuunin. Either way, Saburo had been fairly beaten by someone that had a better mind for battle than him. He was also more than happy to take the Chuunin's hand to raise back up to his feet. His face - and to be fair, a good part of his body - felt sore, but he was ...

<r><COLOR color="slategray"><s>[color=slategray]</s><B><s>[b]</s>"Yeah, thanks,"<e>[/b]</e></B><e>[/color]</e></COLOR> the Genin muttered. He could remember when Daichi would give him those little after-match pep talks. He would always learn something new from those. With a small grunt of effort, Sa...

<r>A properly exploited advantage! His kick had securely planted in Goji's chest and sent his Jutsu - which turned out to be of the Suiton variety - past him and into the distance.<br/> <br/> However, it wasn't until he saw that his leg was being ensnared by his opponent again that Saburo realized h...

<r>This boy was a clan-member? Masaru simply tilted his head at the idea of it. Truly, he didn't care for the Clans. He was more concerned about doing his duty to the Village, rather than appeasing those whose bloodlines were more recognized than others'. But the other boy was still right; they were...

<r>It all began with a letter. A letter with a simple message; Masaru was meant to find his way to the training grounds of the village to meet the Genin that would be his team-member for the foreseeable future.<br/> <br/> Of course, his parents were abuzz that morning as they reminded him how import...

<r><COLOR color="yellowgreen"><s>[color=yellowgreen]</s><B><s>[b]</s>"I- I'm Taro."<e>[/b]</e></B><e>[/color]</e></COLOR><br/> <br/> He looked again to the congregation circled around the strange idol. They thought he - his savior, rather - was a god? It was a touch unsettling to think of. A temple ...

<r>It had worked! First thing first, it was not a good idea for him to remain on the ground like this. Now that his leg was free, he could spin his legs in a wide circle around him; this allowed him to create enough speed to harass Goji's legs in an attempt to make some space between them and orient...

<r>It was a strange feeling being tossed through the air. So was the feeling of colliding with the ground; not to mention the sensation of having your leg essentially paralyzed. Such was his fate in the moment, however. Now the most important thing in his mind was figuring a way out of this. He was ...

<r>Okay, he was leaving himself open. That was a concerning move to start with; it was like his opponent was wanting to draw him out for some reason. Was he luring Saburo into a trap? It was hard for the Genin to tell. Nonetheless, he had to give it his best. So he went to enter the stance of the St...

<r>Saburo returned the smile reflexively, yet was a little startled as the stranger quickly covered the distance between them. This guy was somewhat quick; and he seemed strong too.<br/> <br/> Granted, the boy couldn't help but make a look of slight concern when he looked at the hand being presented...

<r>Now that the Genin had had a little more proper training in Taijutsu, he could tell that his strikes with his staff were rather crude and without actual form. It was something he would have to put more practice into later. Until then, he figured he would have to try focusing more on his unarmed t...

<t>Saburo had almost forgotten the feeling of the headband across his forehead. He had also noticed that his hair had grown a fair bit since he last wore it. Yet, nothing else seemed any different. Citizens walked down the street and such. He had just lost his brother, and nothing seemed to have cha...

<r><SPOILER spoiler="OoC"><s>[spoiler=OoC]</s>hehe let's just call that one a throwback <E>:P</E><e>[/spoiler]</e></SPOILER> With the great gift of water at his lips, Taro had almost not heard the questions asked of him. Still weak from the journey, however, he found it hard to focus. He didn't know...

<r>This was death, wasn't it? A feeling of helplessness as he lay on the burning sands of who-knows-where. Even worse, the mirages would not let up. Even as his vision slowly blurred from exhaustion, he could swear some sort of purple-eyed demon was leaning over his soon-to-be corpse. It was like he...

<r><SPOILER><s>[spoiler=Lonely #2: Loss]</s>Saburo wasn't sure how many weeks had passed since he last went on a mission. Instead, he spent his days at home in the wake of his oldest brother Daichi's untimely death.<br/> <br/> It was a strange feeling to know that someone that he had looked up to hi...

<r>Sunlight.<br/> <br/> There was so much of it. Not even a single cloud in the sky. What made it worst was that somehow, Taro had found his way into what seemed to be a massive desert. He was glad that he had found himself extra water for this particular part of his journey, but the stocks were run...

<t>After the long walk to get here, Taro was sure he deserved to have a nice break. Luckily, he had had enough money on him to be able to pay for a nice long soak in a hot-spring. He had had a nice while to sink down to his chin in the water and float off into a nap while soaking. Something about th...

<t>To answer for the knocking he had performed, Saburo was greeted by his most interesting site of the day: A giant of a woman. That was rather surprising to the boy. Before now, the tallest girls he had ever met had been the Ito twins from his older brother's team. But this woman, she made even the...

<r>A quick trek to the basement and a quick use of Kai put the Genin's worries at ease - somewhat - when he saw that Mio was indeed not a illusion. Now all they needed was the keys. If anything, it would only take a few minutes for Rauji to come to them if he found anything. A thought occurred, thou...

<r>Empty rooms. They were only empty rooms. That was good. That meant that their sensei probably was in the basement. However... She had been unconscious down there. Why would she be unconscious? There was really no reason that she would be. Starting to fear that the keys were another trick, he look...

<t>Oh neat, a farmhouse. This must have been the place they needed to report to. Aside from the warning sign at the property line, everything was looking fine. He followed his team up to the front door of the house and stuck to Kuodachi's left side as they stood waiting for their contact. It was a n...

<t>With a smile to Rauji, the young Genin followed after his team as they made their way from the village. He couldn't help but look back as they went; they were leaving the safety of home for the first time to really be Shinobi. After a nervous tug at his backpack strap, he turned his eyes to his s...

<r>Saburo was very likely looking at the stuff of nightmares. It was already bad enough watching someone being tormented by flames; it was considerably worse when it was his own sensei. He had realized that this house would play tricks on him, but seeing this was what made him doubt himself. He knew...

<r>C-Rank. C. Rank. These were the kind of missions Saburo's brothers could handle on their own. It was kind of a weird feeling; he had been on Team 49 for a good while now, and he was closer than ever to his Chuunin exam. If he could be assigned a mission like this with his team, chances were they ...

<t>The big moment was finally here; time to gather the mushrooms. Following Kuodachi's lead, the Genin crept forward slowly towards a small cluster of mushrooms, where he made a startling discovery. These mushrooms were moving! But weren't these plants? At Saburo's best guess, this was why they were...

<r>The Genin looked between his teammates as Kuodachi gave decent options on what to do next. Either way could be a good plan. The two that shared the team with seemed to be a little bit on edge. He could understand, given that not even a few moments ago he was concerned if they were even real. Howe...

<r>This was turning out to be a great training session. Saburo wasn't the only one that was getting something out of this; that was good. Having seen Kuodachi carry that blade of his around, the small boy could certainly stand to improve his staying power. As such, the Genin had no issue with waitin...

<r>At this point, Saburo had started to hear voices ahead. Who was it? He couldn't be too sure, given what this house was, but he could swear that it was Kuodachi and another. If it really was Kuodachi ahead, that should mean the other voice he was hearing was going to be his other teammate. This fi...

<r><SPOILER><s>[spoiler=Jutsu Training #2(Fuuninjutsu: Fake)Homework]</s>Honestly, this wasn't as fun as Saburo had hoped it would be.<br/> <br/> When his brother, Osamu, had offered to teach him something new about Ninjutsu, the Genin had been excited. A new Jutsu was always something he was willin...

<r><SPOILER><s>[spoiler=Jutsu Training #1(Dynamic Entry): Come At Me, Ro!]</s><B><s>[b]</s>"Alright, Ro, are you ready to learn how to really fight?"<e>[/b]</e></B><br/> <br/> On a sunny day, Daichi had come to Saburo offering to teach him some Taijutsu. After having already training earlier with th...

<t>Before getting too far into the lair of the boars, Saburo had worried that it would be too cramped for him to carry his staff down below. Thinking it would best to be able to move about, he gently placed it onto the ground next to the entrance before seeing Kuodachi signaling to him. He was follo...
