[Mission] Your rights versus my sword. Go.

“What are we doing here?” A squeaky little voice directed the question with a mixed tone of curiosity and fear, as if they were afraid of asking the question. Another two voices replied as one, an annoyed tone behind them. “Idiot.”

The insult was followed by a sigh from a deeper, more menacing voice. “I’ve told you several times, number 2. We’re here to show that not all missing ninja are murderers, we’re proving that we can be peaceful.”

There was an awkward silence as the one named number two thought it over for a minute, only speaking at last to say, “Oh. So why’s Dens- I mean, number four, patrolling outside?”

The response was the same as before. Two voices joined as one to call “Number 2” an idiot before the sigh repeated itself. “ Because, Number 2, shinobi villages are corrupt, evil places capable of attacking innocent tourists such as ourselves. I’ve also told you that several times. Thank you for reminding me about our guard though, the shift’s up. Number 3, you take over.”

The command was followed with a low grunt and the rustling of a chair and footsteps. Number three opened the door and gave another grunt, alerting the young missing nin dozing off in a chair positioned in front of the door that they were to leave. With gratitude, Number 4 accepted the signal and darted into the small cabin that Number 3 had just come out from, closing the door behind him.

It was an old, wooden cabin. Really old. The wood was rotting to a point where even animals had given up on seeking shelter there. Those same animals had better chances of getting a warm welcome at a hotel than this gang, however, so they had no choice. The cabin had an old creaky porch at the front, beaten up stairs leading up to it. That’s where Number 3 sat now. He and Number 4 were the more nocturnal of the group, that’s why he had been sent out to keep watch on 4 A.M. The day was just considering starting, the sun had not yet surfaced, but the sky was beginning to illuminate.

Number 3 crossed his arms and looked out into the distance with a patient alertness. His arms rested nicely against the pockets of his uniform chuunin konoha vest, the rest of his outfit being just as uniform. The only peculiar things about him were his scratched out forehead protector, his shockingly blue hair, and the variety of piercing throughout his lips and his ears.

The Shinobi would have to approach the building from the surrounding swamp area that enclosed the old cabin. The small trees and bushes would provide good cover before reaching the 10x10 meter clearing that the cabin was in.

As Endou approached the forest to where the missing ninja were, he waited for his partner to come and help him out. They were on an easy assignment, with an easy goal. Kill the missing ninja, and dump the bodies. No hassle, he had a jounin with him and they were both capable. He had his trusty crow out to grab his blade at any time. It was a cinch. But now all he needed was his partner to come. And waiting was the hardest part of anything.

Sitting back on the ground, he leaned against a tree with his crow perched on his shoulder. The two of them kept their eyes closed, getting some nice shut eye before going off to eliminate these threats. But, were they threats? Endou had no moral values, so he couldn't give a damn. It was still an interesting question that lingered on. He pondered on it as he waited for this jounin partner of him to come and go to fight the "bad guys" in this situation.

[Gabriel]

Leo had arrived on the scene, this time he would finish the mission quickly and with as little dickering around as possible. He would go in, kill everything, get out and it would all be done. A single use of his new jutsu would be all it would take. Unless they weren't close together. However if they were they were going to die and everything would be over. He approached the Chuunin that was on the mission with him and spoke a single word.

"Follow"

And then he was off, making no attempt to hide himself as he channeled chakra into his feet anytime he came to a wet spot. However, he did not make much noise due to natural ability. And so it was a normal walk through the woods, only making a sound of rustling bushes as he walked and then he hit the clearing, looking ahead at the behind of the cabin, the man on the opposite side currently not visible to him, whether from hiding or just coming around he did not know. One thing was sure, he would be seeing him soon but by then it might be too late, for he had already begun the seals for his Wind Dragon jutsu before he had arrived in the clearing and was just now finishing up, the dragon forming and whirling forwards towards the cabin.

Jutsu UsedShow

Fuuton • Kaze ryū no Jutsu [Wind Element • Wind Dragon Projectile Technique]
A-ranked Ninjutsu
Fuuton • Kaze ryū no Jutsu is a technique utilizing the Wind Element. The ninja does a long string of hand seals which then causes a swirling vortex of wind to form in the shape of a dragon. The swirling winds are so powerful that they can cut through even stone as well as having the effect of dragging things towards the center with a strength equivalent to 5. Anyone caught within the center of this will be quickly destroyed unless they can escape within their next post or defend against stone cutting winds. It lasts two posts after initial activation (The users posts) and has a length of 20 yards and a girth of 5 yards.

The shinobi should have went with a quieter attack. The sudden howling winds made it pretty obvious that it wasn’t natural, which sent all of the missing nin inside into an instant evacuation mode.

As one, they all stood and ran out of the cabin, where they were way too defenseless and limited. The highest ranked nin led the group. He was a tall man, standing at around 6 feet. He had long blond hair and bright, beautiful blue eyes. His clothing was simple, consisting of a regular Kiri jounin’s outfit (Green fest, black spandexish underarmor). He seemed to be the fastest and the most alert of the group, instantly performing hand seals once he stepped outside and was certain they were being attacked.

The other three shinobi moved as well, except they concentrated more on escaping than fighting. There were three of them running out with the higher ranked shinobi. One was short and looked very young, hardly 13. He had dirty blond hair and very boyish features, a slashed iwa headband on his forehead. Number 2. The next one was taller than number 2 but shorter than the leader, he had blazing red hair and a crossed out konoha headband, he looked about 15, experiencing the awkward stage between boyish appearance and a manly one Number 4. The last was roughly the same size as number 4, the blue haired one that had been standing watch, he looked the oldest, probably 17-18 years old.

The leader, who was about 25ish looked very serious and very worried about his younger comrades. With a quick set of hand seals, creating a mist suddenly around the one that had attacked. He must have been strong, by just planting his feet in the ground, he managed to resist the sucking force of the tornado long enough to perform another set of hand seals and bringing his hand to his mouth.

As the leader performed his jutsu, the other shinobi from earlier started working on their own jutsu as well. When all three were standing next to each other, Number 2 performed a set of hand seals and slammed the ground. Number 3 performed some hand seals and hit the ground as well, followed up, of course, by number four performing some hand seals and hitting the ground.

In quick succession, slabs of earth rose out of the ground and converged up in a point above them, blocking them on all sides. Next, a green dome of fuuton materialized with a 2 meter diameter around them and the rock shield. To finish it up, a strange bubble suddenly appeared around the stone shield. It seemed the shinobi inside were well prepared for defending.

The A-ranked MN, upon finishing the hand seals and putting his hands to his mouth, expelled a huge phoenix made entirely of fire, causing it to rise up into the air before slamming it downwards. The fire bird aimed for both the jounin who had attacked and the tornado, hitting the tornado first before going straight towards the jounin. Since the tornado was so large and the jounin wasn’t too far from it, the phoenix easily devoured the wind jutsu, causing it to increase and size and ferocity, while slamming down where the shinobi had been when he first performed the wind jutsu.

Strangely, even with the cabin being entirely ripped out of its place by the fuuton jutsu and being cut up into hundreds of pieces, Number one was nowhere in sight, seemingly dead. In actuality, however, he was hidden underneath the earth. He had performed the jutsu while everybody ran out and had barely dodged getting taken with the cabin. He now slowly made his way to where the attack had come from, he didn’t stop for a while, going a little past where the two shinobi actually were. He held his breath and remained underground, waiting to be sure it was safe.

*Ninpou Kirigakure no Jutsu [Ninja Arts Hidden Mist Technique]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
Prerequisite: Kiri-nin
Kirigakure no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique utilized by Hidden Mist Ninja. Forming a one handed seal the ninja causes the area surrounding their target to be covered in thick mist or fog. The low visibility allows the ninja to silently and secretly assassinate their target.

*Katon Inmetsu Kometto Fenikkusu no Jutsu [Fire Element Destruction Comet Phoenix Technique]
A-Rank Ninjutsu
Katon Inmentsu Kometto Fenikkusu no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique utilizing the Fire Element. The ninja does the necessary hand seals; draws chakra from their mouth into their chest with a big inhalation of air and then immediately exhales it. They then blow a huge streaming jet of fire upwards towards the sky, which erupts and explodes into a huge, giant soaring phoenix of flames. With a last humph of fire, the user forces the giant bird downwards as they also bring their head forwards, this makes it shoot right down with incredible force like a shooting comet that smacks down towards the foe. The impact can be so powerful even the earth can be shattered round the area of impact. This move is considered to be on the far border of A, as even if the ninja brings their hand to their mouth to manage the flame better, not much more control is achieved.

*Mizusuihou [Water Bubble]
C-Rank Ninjutsu
The user forms the needed hand seals, then blows out a huge bubble. A bubble then surrounds the user or whatever they are on (such as a horse or any even a building). The bubble completes itself over the object, then is able to protect it from one weak D rank jutsu or a C ranked Katon-jutsu. After the bubble is hit, it pops, leaving everything back as normal.

*Fuuton Eado-mu [Wind Element Air Dome]
C-ranked Ninjutsu
Fuuton Eado-mu is a ninjutsu utilizing the Wind Element. After forming a set of handseals, the user will focus his/her chakra into the air around him/her. It will spread around the user and form a thin barrier of air around the user. It will spread 2 meters around the user, protecting them from light projectiles and low rank(E, D) jutsu. Also, if your opponent is within this 2 meter range, they will be pushed out of the range.

*Doton Ishi Tate [Earth Element Stone Shield]
D-Rank Ninjutsu
Prerequisite: Doton Iwa Tate [Earth Element Rock Shield]
Using the skills learned in Iwa Tate, the user would summon several large stones from the ground to come up around them.

*Doton Moguragakure no Jutsu [Earth Element Mole Hiding Technique
C-Rank Ninjutsu
Doton Moguragakure no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique utilizing the Earth Element. This technique allows the ninja to burrow into the ground and hide out of sight. This allows them to avoid attack or travel underground. However, the user still must breath, etc so staying underground for a long time is very harmful. Also, since it takes a while to start, it must be used from the middle of the post till the end, and then it's only at the end where they are underground.

[Sabre]

The chunin felt the jounin walk past him with a single word and expect him to follow. This guy was either too cocky or too confident. Either way, the chunin took his time getting up. If the jounin had this, then he wouldn't need the help of the boy. He'd just be there to watch. So after a minute of standing, he started after the jounin who seemed to be making his own fast way to the area. He lazily followed, waiting to pick up the scraps afterwards. Normally Endou wouldn't be in this mood, but he was annoyed that the guy just blew right by him with a single word. Strategy may come in battle, but rushing in was no way for this to happen.

As the chunin moved forward on the carved path, he soon heard loud jutsu. That wasn't good, and certainly would not turn out to be. But stealth was a key aspect. If they thought only a jounin would be fighting, that would be an advantage. He rushed up to a bit away from the battle field, and saw the battlefield. There was a mist, and it was heavily dense at the area where Leo was. Soon, he saw the outlines of a giant light coming that way. Endou quickly maneuvered behind a tree, but it didn't matter. It never reached near him. Ducking back from out of the tree, the chunin looked around. If he could get to the other side, then he would have a better view.

Then again, the enemy might spot him and kill him right on the spot. Either way, going back there was a hit or miss. He decided to stay in place. I'll wait for something else to happen, I'm not getting my ass killed for rushing in. He wanted survival, so he decided to stay and wait. And he waited. Kigyou, however, had a different idea. In a whisper he said, "I'll fly up and see the area above." The crow went up into the air and surveyed the area. He would descend again next post, avoiding any attacks that would try and come his way. Endou had no way to refuse, so he waited on the ground. Two views, giving the best outlook on battlefield.

[Gabriel]

Death, that was what Leo saw in the light that had begun to rise into the sky. His only option was to act quick, and without hesitation. The mist however was a hindrance, unfortunatley for the enemy Leo knew the weaknesses of such jutsu, for he was of the Hidden Mist and even had it within his repertoire. Quick hand seals, Extending arms, Gust of wind clearing a path through the mist for him as he ran forwards. Abandoning the wind dragon which had begun to twist around, clearing even more of the mist and showing a large pheonix like burst of flame heading straight for it. Leo watched in grim despair as his most powerful jutsu was destroyed in the blink of an eye, flames bursting outwards and singing his cloak even though it was soaked from the mist.

However, Leo did not stop even as he looked over his shoulder to check on the light. No he had continued to move forwards, seeing a dome of shimmering air and behind it what appeared to be a bubble of water, and further behind that a dome of earth. He decided that he would go attack this, where someone who was weak would most likely be and as such easy to kill. Handseals and he launched himself forwards, slicing his Ninjato he had pulled from its sheath down through the barrier, releasing a ball of air which proceeded to pop the bubble. He spun and swung again, four more times, the previous one having damaged the dome and these four looking as if they would do more than enough damage to break through the barrier and hopefully kill someone, although breaking through the barrier would probably be all as they weren't meant to kill.

The A-ranked MN was simply appalled with the jounin’s stupidity. He seemed to have the ability to fight him on par, yet he ignored the strongest of the group and attacked the lower ranked ones instead. It was simply not a good idea to turn your back on somebody that was your level, if not higher.

The A-ranked mn pulled out two of his kunai as the jounin sprinted towards the lower ranked missing nin. With a couple of hand seals, as the jounin was attacking the series of defenses his comrades had set up, the missing nin body flickered directly behind the jounin. With the speed of the attack and the fact that the jounin was so distracted attacking the lower ranked missing nin, dodging or even blocking this attack would be practically impossible.

When the jounin slashed downwards with his sword, before he actually finished the slash, the missing nin struck with a two pronged attack, one kunai hooked sideways, moving to drill into the side of the Jounin’s neck while the other kunai came in from the opposite side, aiming to drill into the jounin’s ribs.

If, somehow, the attack wasn't stopped at the start by the A-ranked MN's attack, the attack would be semi-succesful. They obliterated the weak defenses, but nobody was actually killed. At the first sign of cracking in the doton shield, they all simply hit the ground, laying down flat as it all crumbled around them. They all sustained some minor injuries from the rocks falling on top of them, but for the most part, they were fine.

Meanwhile, Number one had decided it was time. He sprout upwards from the ground, semi-surprised to find himself in the woods, behind where there was now a huge crater in the ground caused by his comrade’s phoenix jutsu. Now, completely surprised, he jumped slightly as he realized there was another shinobi here, there were two of them!

Not wanting to waste time performing hand seals, the c-ranked mn pulled out his kunai with explosive tags already attached to them and threw them at the chuunin that was several feet away, hiding behind a tree.

*Shunshin no Jutsu [Body Flicker Technique]
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
Shunshin no Jutsu is a basic Ninjutsu technique. The ninja will appear and disappear in an instant, allowing them to retreat or attack suddenly. To facilitate the movement the ninja will often use nearby elements such as mist, sand or leaves to mask their appearance or disappearance.

[Sabre]

The chunin gazed over the battlefield and attempted to watch the fight. Kigyou was seeing much, but did not yell down since that would give away their presence. So he stayed there alone, armed with the many weapons that he always had. He pulled out a combat knife and a kunai, just in case he was caught without his main weapon. And he was completely distracted by this, up until he heard a pop come from behind the tree. That didn't sound good.

He poked his head out to see a ninja standing there, with kunai infused with explosive tags. Not really infused, but still, exploding knives. He immediately dodge rolled as he watched them get thrown. Right as he landed, he made a quick rush to the unarmed missing ninja. With his usual ease of quick kill, he wanted to get a quick stab to the heart and brain to take him down without much of a commotion. If he got that down, then he could make a quick escape out to stay hidden. A hidden avenger was the role here. Only, he hoped that his jounin partner could survive.

So using thrust tactics combined with quick speed, Endou easily moved into the area with his knives. His right knife was pointed down, while the knife in his left hand was pointed up. The right knife was a combat knife, and the kunai was his left. When he came up to him, trying to catch him off guard, he went straight to the kill. He stabbed his right hand down to smash the brain, and stabbed the left to stab his heart. If this succeeded, then he would have just taken out the shinobi. A hit to the brain and the heart was deadly.

Meanwhile, Kigyou heard the explosion. After looking down with his keen bird eyes, he saw the ninja that was missing. He swooped down to attack him with his beak and talons. This happened right before Endou went to stab him. Kigyou wanted to be useful to his master, going to assist him against an enemy. A dual attack on the boy, surely an escape from this would be extremely difficult.

One might believe number one had been hiding underground as a strategic maneuver. But one would be severely mistaken. Number One was a vagina, a weakling. He was the weakest of the group, even though he was of their rank. So when his attack failed and the target suddenly dodged and sprinted forward him, he didn't even have time to react. The attack was completely succesful, killing the missing nin on the spot, leaving the shinobi's path to escape wide open.

On the other side, the A-ranked missing nin frowned as he killed the jounin. His attack was succesful, but he really hated killing people. Shaking the empathy out of his head, the missing nin sprinted forward, pulling the debris off the bodies of his comrades. It was during this that he heard the explosion created by Number One.

His first reflex was to run to him, but he thought better of it and decided to take the other missing nin out from under the debris first. They were stronger and more important than number one. When he finished unpinning them, however, he would sprint towards the location of the explosion, so if the shinobi wanted to escape, he'd have to do it quickly.

[Sabre]

Endou watched as he killed his opponent, enjoying the kill. His skills weren't getting rusty at all. But this left trouble, as he looked back to see the jounin dead. With that time frame him and his crow escaped, running from the dangerous ninja. And he fled, like a coward, to fight another day.

[CDF]

It took a little while to get the missing nin out and see if they were ok. Once they finished, they sprinted to the area where they heard an explosion, only to find the corpse of Number One. The missing nin searched the immediate area for the killer but quickly gave up, deciding to run away in the opposite direction instead.
