The swordsman let his blade slide right through Hatsu yet she refused to let go. All the training to take hits and the torment Seiji had put her through in the past stayed the pain and carried her through her technique. As he recovered from the throw her half-brother would then speak to her, criticizing her recklessness. "I suppose you're right, I guess I'm getting a bit reckless after all." She looked down at the wound oozing from her. "I need to get this looked at before I lose too much blood. Maybe we can spar again another time." The child turned away and packed her things. "I forfeit, though I would like to talk later if you can spare the time." Hatsu seemed calm and collected as she walked into the dojo to give the scrolls back for the time being. She would then proceed to patch herself up with an emergency first-aid kit before heading off to the village's hospital. [Training Completed: Spar - Lost]

-----Watching the thing move and contort around his attack, Wanryoku stopped moving, allowing the thing to move away. Samuru bore two throwing knives, which would mean that he was finally taking this seriously, to some degree. Taking a deep breath he looked at Samuru with a smile, but then felt something strike his back. Having anchored himself, and the fact the thing striking him weighed nothing, Wanryoku did not budge, but he did turn to look upwards as Kaileer came down with his sword. Before it could strike, the giant gave Kaileer the weirdest 'wtf' face. "Why do?" Then he brought his hand upwards, bracing his muscles with the power of his Stamina, and made the hand as strong as the mountains. So When Kaileer's blade struck it, there would be sparks, and likely, it would screech out to the side. [Steady Mountain Palm → A - ranked Simple :: [2/2] :: Complete ]]
-----His next movement might come as a surprise. He would lunge forward and grab Kaileer's hand, the one that he was wielding his blade with, and hauled him backwards. The attack would likely look as if he were going to smash Kaileer into the ground, but that was not the case. Not yet. Instead, he would spring Kaileer around and around above him, similar to a lasso. [Gangeki [ Boulder Strike ] → A - ranked Simple :: [1/2] :: Incomplete ]]
----- Swinging around with his strength was easy, for Kaileer was no Zangai. Still, he knew the attack he was using would hurt, so hopefully Kaileer could figure a way out. With a grunt, he swung downwards out of the spinning, aiming to smash Kaileer into the ground like the ragdoll the giant had turned him into. "You, then Samuru. Why not together?"[Gangeki [ Boulder Strike ] → A - ranked Simple :: [1/2] :: Incomplete ]]

"Goddamn child." He whispered as he stood and followed after his half sister.
He had expected her to abandon her attack or deflect by bringing her other arm in to shove his blade away. Sighing he followed after her and helped her to bandage herself up and helped carry her to the hospital from the Dojo. Before exiting the dojo he would remove his own kimono and place it over the girl, as his strike had sundered the sash that kept her own closed, as well as ripped apart the fabric of hers while sundering flesh.
"Reckless does not begin to describe what the hell you are, Hatsu. But we'll cover that after you get patched up." The elder said as he ended up picking her up and carrying her there.

-----мy attack was slapped out of the way, which was no surprise from Wan. Though honestly I'd never actually seen him fight. But the fact that he'd been unfazed by the electricity coursing through the blade was a surprise. Maybe this blade wasn't going to be as useful as I thought, if it could just be brushed off. -----Even more shocking was when he grabbed my arm. His massive hand wrapped around most of my lower arm, and he flung me like a rope. s**t... I pushed chakra into my hands, until they sparked with the same electricity as my blade. Then, swinging my arm around, I slammed my free hand into the side of Wan's and forced the raiton energy into it. At the very least, it would cause the muscles in his hand to seize and release. [Nagare Tensou no Jutsu - D 1/1 LEARNED] -----The hand released me I was brought down to be slammed into the ground, but if I didn't dodge it wouldn't matter. Turning so I would land on my feet, I hit the ground--harder than I would have liked, making me flinch--and then pushed off again, redirecting the momentum before it was lost. Leaping to the side, I spun, blade held poised to hit anything that came too close, in case the giant tried grab me again, and landed several feet away. [Seven Sword Dance - "The Hook" - E::Simple 1/1 LEARNED] -----Wiping the back of my hand across my brow, I happened to look to the side to spot an ANBU approaching. Right... For a minute I almost forgot. As Raikage, they were my personal guards. I grimaced, but whether or not the man even noticed remained hidden behind a mask. He held out a letter to me. "Message, sir." -----What was important enough to have to bring it here? Taking the envelope, I pulled out the piece of paper within. One particular line immediately caught my attention:
-----Due to a recent, large purchase from Kumo--among other normal purchases--Takumi is now out of supplies.
-----My grimace turned into a scowl. What huge purchase? Who had the money to buy enough of Takumi's supplies to make it run dry? Damn it. So much for getting new swords with my earnings from Kiri. Then again, most of my plans were going out the window. They were looking for help restocking, and given we were at fault, it seemed best we help out. -----Of course, I still didn't know half of the shinobi in the village, so I didn't even know where to start with sending anyone. Or where to send them. We were in the mountains, which was a good place to start looking, but that was about the extent of my knowledge on anything that had to do with ore. I repeated my reading out loud to the other two. Apparently Takumi is sold out of everything, and it's Kumo's fault." I sighed. So much for the spar. Or training. "So I've got to send a few people to help out." -----Next to come up to me was someone without a mask. I recognized him as one of the instructors from when I was at the academy. "A genin was injured badly in a spar. One of the Hattori siblings, by her older brother." Older brother... Was that the one who'd been around when I arrived? And sister would be the girl who was there. I'd wondered where the two of them disappeared to. I nodded to the man, and he left, I assumed, to check on the injury.
O.O.C Astra: I don't mean to skip you, but I've got to do this before we miss out. V.v Azi: If your wolf knows anything about the purchase, she's welcome to offer information.

[✠]Samuru was so far from impressed by either of the two fighters that he used his blades to fold each other up and tucked them back to where ever they had come from, taking a step back from the two. Watching the fight as Kaileer defended and then landed himself, he didn't show anymore emotion even as his puppet returned...followed by a second puppet that was identical to the first. Both landed just behind him, facing the two as Kaileer took a message from an Anbu. The arrival of that second puppet, one not seen nor even noticed by Wan or Kaileer, might indicate that Samuru had had a plan neither of them would have even considered "Takumi...oh." he shook his head "Ten to one it was Myurai's fault." he said blandly, a slight sigh getting out "Release my bind, Kaileer, and I'll go." Samuru focused on Kaileer, his gaze angry but excited. If he could just get out of this damn village, even for a second....maybe it would be enough.][✠] OoC: Used:

Some say the World will end in Fire. Some say in Ice.
Miyuki nodded to her brother and turned to leave the academy, she could train more later after all, She started to walk for the lower levels, working on getting to the exit to the outside, when she noticed a woman and a man, the woman caught her attention more because she had.... was that a tail and ears? Miyuki blinked several times, she'd never seen someone who looked like they were part cat before, she was fascinated by the obvious differences between them. This woman was tan to Miyuki's pale skin, but they both had white hair. Miyuki just stood there for a long moment, pale purple eyes focused on the woman and her companion. She kind of wanted to talk to her, which was strange for her, considering she'd never really ever wanted to talk to anyone outside of her family.
From what I've tasted of Desire I hold with those who favor Fire. But if it should have to perish twice I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction Ice is also great And would suffice

-----The giant stopped where he stood, looking down at his arm as he tried to move it. Though the attack had skipped off of him, skittering off of his upraised palm, the electricity had coursed through his arm like a bolt of lightning. Now it was dead, for the next few minutes at least, he was sure. Looking upwards at Kaileer as he began reading his letter, and when he read it back to them Wanryoku realized something. But he waited, rubbing his arm, as Samuru decided to give his spiel. Except that Wanryoku was watching closely, and he could tell a few things. The first was that Samuru felt caged, as was apparent now that Wanryoku knew he was restricted in places. Why, though, remained unknown. but the point was that he was filled with some sort of rage. And this bothered him, especially when he retreated from the spar as if it meant nothing. Well, then again, he hadn't seen his true self.
-----Wanryoku looked at Kaileer, and stood straight as he began flexing his arm, which was all pins and needles. "I help with that. When gone, Kaileer, I kill Nekita. Doing so melted mountains, and mountains...sparkly. Iron, gems...stuff." Unfortunately he did not know much about what was there, as he'd passed out after. It was at that moment that Wanryoku's face darkened, darkened enough to make him look like some sort of axe murderer filled with a fury meant only for demons. "Haituro. He abandon me to death. He, and others. Others avoid mission, like Igarashi, Kazurai, and Black. But Haituro...he die for this." At those words, Wanryoku's hand came back fully, and he clenched it hard enough for his knuckles to crack.
----- Eyes moving up to Kaileer's once more, face still blacker than death, Wanryoku spoke again. "Nekita, Sanin cat who attack us, die by my hand. She bother us no more. But mountain gone 'cause."

-----ι opened my mouth to respond to Samuru, but Wan answered as well. Something about someone named Nekita--the cat sannin who attacked Kumo. Right, I remembered hearing something about it. Wan had defeated, no, killed a sannin. And melted a mountain. Which meant plenty of exposed ore for what we needed to do. That was rather... convenient. -----So Haituro had turned traitor. That explained why I hadn't seen him around. Not that I had been around either. But the look of anger on Wan's face was frightening enough without him being easily twice my height. He was abandoned to fight Nekita. Igarashi, Kazurai, Black... They were all names I recognized as well. "I'll see what I can do about locating Haituro. We'll make sure he pays for abandoning you." I looked back down at the paper in my hands. There was too much information to process. I wasn't trying to ignore the plight Wan went through, because I wasn't, and I hoped it didn't come across that way. "I'd also like to give you and award for defeating Nekita, which you can pick up from the office later." -----I turned back to Samuru. He wanted me to release his bind? He'd mentioned something about that. Kinpaku denied him leaving the village. I assumed because of the Nibi, she didn't trust him not to just take off. It wasn't that I didn't trust him. But the bijuu were powerful creatures to just let out of our sights. "I'll release you... But I trust you'll return." Whether or not he did, I considered him a friend, but the village came first. Rogues were considered traitors and were to be hunted. I didn't want it to come to that. "I've got to go back to the office. I'll be sending out missives shortly." -----Sheathing my blade, I stuck the letter in my pocket and gestured for the ANBU to follow me as I headed away. On the way out, I passed a young woman I hadn't seen before. She was short, but her appearance gave me pause. Pale hair and light eyes... She looked uncomfortably like Kazumi. Dragging my gaze away, I hurried along, hoping my hesitation went unnoticed.

Igarashi looked at Renji with the proudest look on her face. Out of the corner of her eye she felt that she was being watched. Turning her head she saw a young girl with white hair like her own who's eyes was fixated on her. Her tail twitched slightly and her ears lowered slightly in a slight irritation But she then shook her head and decided to approach the girl.
Making her way over to the girl she scanned her trying to judge her from a distance. Coming to the conclusion that she was just a genin. Dropping her guard slightly she smiled some trying to show kindness. Lifting her hand to the side of her head Igarashi brushed her own white hair out of her face before speaking. "Noticed you were looking at me ,anything of interest?" She then heard with her wonderful cat hearing her name coming from a very familiar voice. Growling slightly in annoyance she heard why her name was mentioned.
Igarashi looked back at the young girl and then noticed she didn't have a headband. Thinking to herself she thought that she must get this girl her headband before people start to think this girl was a spy or something. Smiling she took the girls hand not really caring at this point of if it might of upset her or not as she was about to speak she overheard Kaileer's voice and decided to make a trip to go see him. Watching as Kaileer left and head back to his office. "Lets go to the office, we need to get you that headband." She smiled sweetly and decided to leave and make her way to the office with the girl in tow.
Renji looked to where Igarashi was looking noticing that there was a young girl just staring at them. Shaking his head he followed after Igarashi. Standing there he folded his arms across his chest watching the two of them. He really had no interest in what was going on but he knew he was gonna get dragged either way. He then noticed as the new Raikage passed him nodding a hello not saying anything. Then to quickly be dragged by Igarashi to follow the Raikage out the door with the girl only overhearing something about getting her the headband.

Turning, Samuru walked over to grab his box, sliding it over his shoulder and watching the new Raikage walk off "..." he shook his head and started to walk off.[✠] OoC: Used:

-----Describing the feelings welling and warring within Wanryoku would take time and effort that a mountain would find inconvenient at best. Kaileer's words helped a bit, yes, for it meant that someone, even if only a friend, not only accepted his words but tried to understand them. But could he understand the very nature of what happened? To a clan of warriors it meant everything to trust the brothers and sisters around you. Every fight between tribes involved a massive number of people fighting beside those who knew one another, who had to trust that no matter what they fought for the same side. It was brutal in the icy mountain placescape. To be betrayed by someone that was family by default was the worst of transgressions, and it instituted a blood price that could only be paid with the life of the betrayer. It was a sin without forgiveness, and the blood price was eternal. To Wanryoku this was not simply a matter of justice, or veangence. This was a matter of the world being wrong, and him setting it right. Even hearing that a reward had been given turned out to be a hollow victory, for it was victory without the point being made. He nodded to Kaileer in thanks, face still dark, and turned when he left, moving towards an outcropping of hardened stone that could likely have been enough to count as a large hill by itself.
-----That Kaileer was the Raikage now only just dawned on Wanryoku, though his mind was too...elsewhere to react properly. There was a pit within him, a dark abyss that felt like a searing ball of fury that he had only known once before. It ate at his soul, lashed at him like the scourge of a thousand demons, each thought a sensation of burning to his mind. Darkness spread within him, a power and emotion he couldn't comprehend besides using such base words as "Rage" and "Fury". Neither fit, neither described it perfectly, and even as he approached the enormous stone Wan's body began to blur. Black waves of force rolled over his muscles, twitching and growing, stretching, until in a matter of moments, as Wanryoku came to a stop before the stone, his body had become outlined in darkness. It's shape that of an Ogre, it made Wanryoku look like a berserker on the edge of murder. This darkness continued to grow, grow, and grow until with a roar that likely scattered animals from everywhere in the Dojo he lashed forward with his fist. The rage, this "fury", went with it, and when his fist struck the entire enormity that was the stone hill...vanished. There was a deafening bang as the blunt force sent the structure soaring into bits of dust.
----- There was likely silence afterwards. Dead silence. It was broken only after a few moments as Wanryoku huffed and puffed for breath, eyes wild but calming down. And then he spoke. "Sam-Uru. Have you felt rage before?" The words were perfect, with barely a hint of accent, as he was calming himself down by concentrating on the words. "In here?" Touching just beneath his ribcage, he continued. "Darkness that never ends? How do you stop it?"

[✠]Wanryoku's actions were ignored by Samuru, his goals already drifting off to some other part of the village. Mostly, he was distracted by all of these people who believed trust was some mighty binding ritual that would safe guard them against anything. Trust was, for him, a pointless word and action that carried as much meaning to him as a speck of dust carried meaning to a panther or a wolf. It was nothing. It meant nothing. It held nothing. Samuru paused as his name was called and he half turned, looking back at the giant. He spoke of rage...and for the first time ever, he did something that hadn't happened since Konoha. Samuru smiled. Reflexively, naturally...and with such violent hatred that even the giant Wanryoku might wonder just what was the true demon inside Samuru. The bijuu or Samuru himself? It wasn't that there was anything odd about the smile. His lips curved, thinning and closed over his teeth, and on anyone else, it might have merely been seen as arrogant. But there was no arrogance in his eyes or amusement in his features. There was simply an all consuming...darkness "Why?" he asked finally, turning to look at Wanryoku, his body in profile while his face was full to the giant "What would be the point of stopping it?" for Wan, this rage was fleeting and would fade, no doubt, with the restoration of his honor. For Samuru, however, there was nothing else. That darkness Wan was feeling? Samuru lived for it. The rage? It was the only thing he had left "You and all the rest of you....you all make a single mistake as you live your lives." the smile was long gone but traces of it remained in the fine quirk around his mouth, the indention's under his eyes "You see the positive emotions as the stronger. The joy and camaraderie of having friends and teammates." his disdain for such things was clear, his eyes dark. The only thing he needed....and now he had seen it clearly, the only thing that mattered were them. And he would destroy worlds for that reason alone "The negative emotions though...hate, rage, violence. That is power. Those emotions can rip apart those ridiculously over sought illusions." he looked at where the hills had been and then looked back at Wan with contempt "Like you. All that fury against one person and how much life did you just kill? In that single blow, how much was destroyed by a fit of uncontrolled rage? Why on earth or in heaven would you ever want to stop that?"[✠] OoC: Used:

-----Wanryoku's eyes shot to the side, staring hard at Samuru not only in shock, but in recognition. This hatred was what his brother bore, to a smaller degree. Whereas Zangai had been the type to only even feel skin deep, his emotions as wild as the fire he was born to, Samuru nurtured the darkness. Fed it and cared for it as a mother would a sick child, urging it to grow into...this. Wanryoku slowly shook his head as he turned back to the rubble, his fist smoking from the impact. "This...this killed my brother. This killed my family. Hatred, rage, these end life. It goes nowhere. Violence is an end, not a beginning. Use it where needed, but use always, and everything ends. This is true everywhere. I will use this rage to end Haituro, but I will not allow it to consume me. Lest I become more a danger to others in this village than I already am. I will meet you at the gate, Sam-uru." It was not a dismissal, it was not designed to look down on. Wanryoku understood to a degree, and would not chastise Samuru for his life decisions. Instead, he would train, as he intended to to begin with.

An ANBU, the same from before, made his way silently into the dojo, bearing two letters. He stood idly by until Samuru and Wan were done speaking before approaching. "I have a message for each of you." Looking down at the missives to identify which went to whom, he held one out to Samuru then, moving over to the giant, the second to Wan. Once both were dispatched, he left without another word.
Samuru:
Due to a recent purchase made by someone in Kumogakure, Takumi's supplies have run out. Since we are at fault, I am sending groups of shinobi to the mountains surrounding the village to collect ore that will be taken to Takumi. Your missions are as follows:
Title: Scouting I Rank: E Information: Scouting out ores on the mountain sides. No spelunking required! Solo or Squad: Solo Minimum Posts: 4 Note: Bring binoculars, telescopes, or special eyes for an easier time!
Or, if you can acquire spelunking gear:
Title: Scouting II Rank: D Information: Scouting out ores within the mountain sides. Spelunking required! Be careful in there, shinobi. Solo or Squad: Solo Minimum Posts: 4 Note: If you do not own spelunking equipment, this mission is off-limits.
Scouting is required before you may move onto the next missions. Once they are complete, you may begin mining.
Title: Actual Mining! I Rank: B Information: Restricted to those of Chuunin rank, minimally, the miners need a hand at digging and hauling ores up from their locations. No spelunking required! Solo or Squad: Solo Minimum Posts: 5 posts, once on location. Note: Requires the E - Rank scouting mission to be performed first.
Or, if spelunking gear was acquired, and scouting done:
Title: Actual Mining! II Rank: A Information: Restricted to those of Jounin rank, minimally, the miners need a hand at digging and hauling ores up from their locations. Spelunking required! Be careful in there, shinobi. Solo or Squad: Solo Minimum Posts: 9 posts, once on location. Note: If you do not own spelunking equipment, this mission is off-limits. +1 added to the dice roll's results. Requires the D - Rank scouting mission to be performed first.
Wanryoku, Myurai, and two or three genin will be accompanying you. Wanryoku is in charge of this mission, since he knows the location. You will be expected back seven days after you arrive at the mountain. Wait at the gates for Wanryoku, so that he can show you the location.
I'm releasing you from the restrictions Kinpaku had you under. Whatever that means to you, you decide. I just hope you make the right choice, whatever can be considered 'right', anyway. Show the missive to the ANBU at the gates if they stop you.

Myurai, Samuru, and two or three genin will be accompanying you. You are in charge of this mission, since you know the location. You will be expected back seven days after you arrive at the mountain. The others will be waiting at the gate for you.
I didn't mean to seem like I didn't care before, because I do. I'll do everything I can to locate Haituro. I just have a lot of things on my mind right now. When this mess is over, care for a drink?
[✠]"Violence is the only beginning I know." Samuru's words were as cold and hateful as his gaze. His entire world had become a never ending cycle of violence "Yeah....that's kind of the point." that last part, as he turned to walk away...What was the point? To become a danger? To end everything? At this point, it didn't matter. Accepting the missive from the Anbu, Samuru looked at Wan one more time with a kind of sarcastic amusement "Don't forget to grab your weapon on the journey out." he said, either trying to be nice again or merely stating a fact.
