Taking a seat beside him, she straightened out her legs and laid back on the ground to join him. Squirming into his side so that she was closer to him, she faced him as he turned his head to the left. She loved looking at his eyes and it drove her nuts when his hair hid his face or when he averted his gaze from her own. A new goal for him? Her expression fell a little bit, Jae crossing her arms over her belly. Now it was her turn to look up at the sky. I can think of one... One huge life changing goal. Forget his whole plans for revenge against Konoha. The triplets vendetta weighed heavy on her mind. At nights she couldn't sleep in fear that she might wake up and they would be gone or someone might know what they are up to and take them into custody. She didn't want anything to happen to them, especially Samuru. The kids had been wronged. They had gone through the worst of experiences and she truly wished there was some possible way their vendetta could be wiped clean without the level of violence they wanted to pursue. Opening her mouth she hesitated slightly before turning her head so she could look at him. Now. Try now! Jae pushed herself up so she was propped up on one arm, her body turned in his direction. "Samuru. Let's run away." Her expression changed, Jae looking frantic and panicked. She knew this was not a choice nor an option but it could be a possibility. Rakuin would never let Samuru go and this village would not either. You never just quit being a shinobi. You either retired, died one or became rogue. It was now or never. Sitting up once again she faced him on all fours. "Just you and me. Let's go far away from the villages and stop being shinobi and just live like ordinary citizens." This wasn't like Jae, to run away from anything and leave things behind so for her to have come to this...it had taken her a lot.

Reaching out for his hand she gripped it with both of hers, keeping her gaze down at his hand in hers. Pulling his arm and hand to her she positioned his hand so it was on her chest, directly over her heart. It was beating rapidly and sporadically, as if she had just run a marathon of some sort. "I only get like this around you. I love you so much....I don't want to lose you. More than anything that scares me the most." Which was Jae being the most honest and sincere she had ever been. Since their declaration of feelings for one another it had always been Samuru paving the way. Now it was her turn. "I can't lose you. I'm willing to give up everything to keep that possibility from happening." What was this called? Laying your chest bare? It felt more like she was exposing herself nude during a Yukigakure blizzard. Her grip on his hand tightened slightly before she released her hold altogether and dropped her hands onto her thighs.

Forced to look at Jae as she wiggled into his side, Samuru didn't look away, just stared at her as she looked at him. He wondered, not for the first time, what went on in her head when she just silently looked at him like this "Jae...?" he asked, a slight smile rising to his lips despite his sadness that she hadn't realized what he meant earlier. Then..."What?" he stared at her, his mouth parted in total shock. Her words, everything she was saying, they hit him like that Anbu's attack had earlier. Hard and sudden. Run away? As she propped herself up then moved to all fours, he sat up as well, his elbows supporting him as she continued to speak. Stop being shinobi? He couldn't even comprehend it...but...to be ordinary. To not have to fight anymore or be constantly looking over his shoulder. Her grip on his hand nearly unbalanced Samuru but he froze as she put it over her heart, feeling the sporadic beating. Losing him scared her? This sudden explosion of emotion and revealed feelings was hitting Samuru like a rolling boulder crashing down a slope. Processing what she said, he was quiet for several minutes, his hand going to his own lap once she released it I could do it. his eyes were on her as he thought. He knew....knew that his siblings would hunt him down as soon as the Konoha Anbu would and his siblings would have better luck. Unless. Unless he messed with his own mind in such a way that the bond they all shared broke. He knew how to do it too...but it would be incredibly painful. And...If I break from them, its safer for us all....but... leaving them would be like pulling his finger nails out. Looking at Jae..."They won't let us go..." he touched her face with his fingers, lightly brushing her cheek and chin "Let's run away." his smile was....like relief "You're everything for me, Jae. I've always told you that...without you, there wouldn't be a me. I love you too..." he pushed her hair back behind her ear, dropping his hand to hers and taking it, holding it "I'll go anywhere you go. You won't ever lose me, never." but....if they ran away....how far would they make it? His grip on her hand tightened as fear struck him. If Jae was taken from him or hurt...he felt a strange rush of pure rage run through him and his eyes seemed to flicker. No one was taking him away from Jae. And hell itself would run from him if anyone took Jae from him "We...we can go to another village, one that is not on friendly terms with our own. Take sanctuary there. But.....what about Sae?" Rage was replaced with fear for Jae's mother, worry about what would happen to her if they left.

I will not weep for the world that will not see. I will change it even if blood stains my hands.

Leaning her face into his hand as he voiced his concern she closed her eyes briefly. She opened her eyes in time to see his...smile? As he pushed her hair behind her ear and took hold of her hand she let out the breath she had been holding. She had been expecting him to say no. Had been expecting him to tell her he could not choose between another life and his siblings. For the rest of her life she would be haunted with this decision. Jae had been the one to propose this ultimatum. His siblings or her. The most selfish thing she had ever said and asked for. His suggestions were on par with Jae's own thoughts. There were a few villages Jae could think of that disliked Konoha enough to take them in but it was one name that stopped her mid plot.

Mother... The only blip in her plan. Jae had to make sure her mother was alright. She couldn't leave her in Konoha with the possibility of her being used as bait. Even worse...The possibility that Rakuin could use her to lure her out as well. That death threat still stood. Especially now. What Rakuin was capable of...whatever it was she was sure it was nothing pleasant. Samuru had warned her in his own way. Slip up and be eaten. She couldn't take chances. It had to be now. Jae tugged on his hand and stood. Once he was standing she hugged him tightly, burying her face into his chest. He's not going to like this idea... "Let me go and get her..." She said, speaking into his chest. She had enough chakra to do it, to quickly go in and bring her out. They could safely relocate her mother. Somewhere safe and out of everyone's reach. Give her mother the quiet life she had wanted. "She can come with us too." Whether or not her mother could make the trip was a different story. Her mother was not feeble nor way past her prime either but she was not as young as she used to be. Her mental state was still unstable as well. It was not guaranteed if she would be alright but Jae couldn't afford to leave her behind.

Samuru's mind was whirling still as Jae pulled him to stand, hugging him as she said she'd go get her mother. But what about his mother? His arms were around her, his head bowed, but his mind was anything but relaxed or calm. He wanted to leave, to run away. He'd wanted to run away for years, ever since the drive for revenge had slowly whittled from point to softened edge. But....he closed his eyes tightly. He might have chosen Jae at this moment but his family...his mother. Raki. May. Could he really just....leave them? Then....it was there. His eyes opened and he took Jae by the shoulders, holding her so she would look at him "Listen to me....this....we can't leave now. Not right away." his voice was excited, the idea in his head so perfect it was like it had been there all along "I can't leave my mother there anymore then you can leave your's. She...she's still my mother, even with...despite everything. And my siblings...I..." he bit his lip then just plunged in "We wait, Jae. Just a few more weeks, no more than a month, until Raki and May are strong enough. Then we all go to different villages. We all leave at the same time, escape from that hell hole." he touched her face, hoping she would understand. She had to..."We can go to any village we want after that....but I can't leave my family in that place..please, Jae, please tell me you understand...." this.....agony. It was worse then anything he'd felt before. God how he just wanted to grab Jae and run away with her. Never look back, never think on Konoha again. He loved her so much....it was a physical pain to him. If he could go back and talk to Raki, explain the plan and get him on their side....it might be the best thing they do.

Now being held by the shoulders she looked up at him, her intuition telling her exactly what was going to happen before he said anything. His proposition was well thought out, sound and too good to be true. If they waited...this wouldn't end. The plan that would send Samuru into the darkest parts of the Shinobi world. The stupid vendetta. Her heart ached and her throat burned as if she had plunged herself into Suna deserts without having drank water for miles. She tried to swallow but couldn't muster the moisture in her mouth. Despite being parched in her mouth another organ was not. Her eyes began to water, Jae unknowing to the occurrence. Blinking once the tears moistened and wet her lashes before pooling over her eyelids and sliding down her face, cheek and trailing to her cheek. Feeling the wetness on her face she immediately rubbed the tears away with the back of her fists and side of her palm. Looking down she blinked rapidly to try and dispel the moisture but it only seemed to make things worse. "I don't know... I'm not crying because of you." She muttered, her voice cracking somewhat. That uncomfortably dry feeling was 'the crying voice'. Damn it! Stop crying! She cursed at herself. "I understand. I completely do. We will wait." Again her voice cracked and she let out a sort of sob. Moving a hand to her mouth she stifled it so as not to let slip another noise. She ducked her head a bit, letting her hair spill around her face. She was mortified that now, of all times, she was emotional enough to cry. She NEVER cried! This was an affront to her reputation and embarrassing to boot. Her heart continued to ache. Rakuin would never let Samuru go. Yes. They would get out of Konoha but only to wind up further ensnared in the darkness that was their vendetta. This was what she feared. This was something that was dangerous and at any given time she could lose Samuru to the darkness. She leaned her forehead against his chest and wrapped her arms around him. His height compared to hers dwarfed her completely and she resembled a child holding on tightly to their father. Her tears were hot and immediately soaked into his shirt. I wont lose him. I wont lose him. She chanted to herself; trying to calm herself down enough to cease her water show.

Samuru tried to help wipe the tears away, his hands fumbling with Jae's "Jae..." he tried to speak but as she leaned forward and wrapped her arms around him, he couldn't speak. So he put his arms around her as well, his hands tangling in her hair I didn't want to make her cry... he closed his eyes, leaning in "I'm sorry, Jae." he whispered, leaning back to brush her tears again with the back of his fingers "I promise...we'll escape. From...everything." he kissed her nose gently and then took her hand, pulling it firmly from behind him to hold "I swear." but for now....he released her and looked around, feeling a bit of stress that Eclipse hadn't returned. With a soft whisper and his hands flickering, he sent a clone on to the village, not sure if Eclipse had made it back. If not, they'd need back up to find her.

Nodding her head, she calmed herself down by taking in a deep breath. Once she had stopped sniffling she was able to think and once she had she felt a very vile feeling flood her."Do you feel that?" She asked him, looking back toward the village. Something isn't right... The last time she felt like this Yukigakure had been raised to the ground by the bandits. She put a hand on his arm, briefly, and then tensed. "Samuru something is wrong! We need to go back!" She said, her voice panicked. Looking to him once she started out, leading the way back to Konoha. Holding her side she made her way as quickly back as her body would allow her, trying her best not to undo the light healing she had been granted by her summons.

The information that came back to him from his clone made Samuru stiffen, his hand going to hold Jae's. But before he could speak ... "All right." he said, starting to walk. But, as he soon out paced her, he stopped and scooped her up, holding her waist and under her knees "Conserve your energy. Just hold on, all right." he started to run, his longer legs taking them farther faster. He didn't have Jae's sense for things, for feeling the differences in the air or even feelings of any sort when it came to the village. But he trusted her instinct and quickened his pace.

[Ergo War]

The Kyuubi sped into the Midnight Forest like a giant orange blur, trampling trees without even realizing it. Unfiltered daylight would reach the forest floor for the first time in an eternity, and the giant creatures that inhabited the forest would stampede away from the terror that was the Nine-Tailed Fox. The beast would use its tails to grab nine of the largest trees and uproot them on its run, which would prove easy since the ground was shattering in its wake. For a brief moment, the Kyuubi glanced over at the well-populated Village, then seemed to grow even angrier.

Noctis was coming up behind the kyuubi as it seemed to have gazed upon Konoha. He needed to distract it more until the others arrived. He received info from his clone, he had the tools to seal it away now. And one more thing, a technique he created but had yet attempted to learn. It seemed his clone did it for him. He raised his hand into the sky in a flash a snowflake the size of a house appeared. He took aim at the Kyuubi's tails and with a swift hand motion the snow flake flew, it was so thin that even if the kyuubi looked back it would be almost impossible to see the razor thin attack heading his way. He was probably to busy focusing his anger on Konoha anyways. If he could slice its tails off, that should focus his anger his way.

The Kyuubi, which had only glanced at the Village for a brief moment, was aware enough of its surroundings to hear something cut through the rock and debris that it had kicked up when it had arrived. It sent another burst of Chakra to its legs and sprinted in a wide arc around the Hokage, expanding the distance between them even more and throwing more of the landscape into the air. The Kyuubi then lobbed one of the massive trees it had picked up toward the Hokage, though the tree would fall a few meters short, leaving nothing but leaves in its wake.

Noctis watched as his attack as the Kyuubi just ran away. Noctis followed behind his razor flake still cutting through, Noctis put his hands behind him and released a powerful gust of wind this pushed him forward much quicker. He caught up to his attack and attached himself to it with chakra using the burst of wind through his hand steering out of the kyuubi's flying debris. At this pace he blasted through the air much quicker that someone could move even the kyuubi had to have a limit to its speed as big as it was. He continued and would eventually hopefully surpass the kyuubi, when he finally passed him he did a mid air flip and released the chakra from his feet. He released his razor flake once again after the initial miss right in front of the kyuubi headed right towards him.

The only thing fortelling his arrival was the sound of rustling leaves on the outskirts of the forest, silver hair and a flowing robe mettling along the tree limbs a sub-silver aura flowing about the man as he stared among the scene of combat. He knew the Hokage would most likely need assistance, but first he had to prepare himself. The feeling of rippling chakra building through the man's body as he began the activation of his Sennin Mode. Eyes closed he felt the chakra of the conflicting forces, building and stirring beneath his watchful gaze. Soon, however, the chakra of the world began to stir across himself and he started to draw it into a spool, building up the first of his Sennin Chakra.

"Hold on Hokage, I'm coming." He intoned to himself, hoping the Hokage would feel his presence.

Zankyokukuuha doesn't propel anyone. Both Yo-ko and AandOE agree on this. I believe you're thinking of this one:

Suiyaku Kaze [ Propelling Winds ]
Rank: D
Official Description: By letting loose a short blast of air from their hands, the user is able to fly in the opposite direction with considerable force.
Guild Description: Can be used to either move very quickly to the side, or even propel the user up to fifty feet directly upward.

Wolfe Nailo

The Hokage's technique would do very little to propel him, and would instead damage whatever was behind him. The snowflake would fly through several trees on the outskirts of the forest and embed itself deep in the ground without much fuss. Meanwhile, visibility had dropped to almost zero thanks to the Kyuubi's rampage. The beast itself spat another small Bijuu Ball at the Hokage--this time aiming it so that if it did not hit its target, it would fly toward the Village--and disappeared inside the massive cloud of debris that it had kicked up. It took this opportunity to release another disgusting fog. Its aura of malignancy would be lost within the Chakra-based poison, its physical presence obscured by the dust cloud, and even its odor erased now that the forest was rotting again. Waves of black-red Chakra swelled up high above the trees as the fog spread.

Noctis was getting real tired of the kyuubi's s**t. And where the hell where his sealers? Visibilty dropped to zero? He was surprised that since visibility was so low that the Kyuubi could aim straight at him. Visibility seemed to have dropped, but he heard a familiar sound in the distance. It was the same sound the kyuubi made when he was going to fire that last explosion. This time he would be prepared, in an instant he created another razor flake. He didn't have to see the kyuubi to know its location. He could still hear it moves crushing tree's and branches beneath its feet. He threw the attack at the Kyuubi's, Noctis then shushin away from both attacks before they hit pushing the limit of the shushin to the max. The moment they touched his attack defeated the kyuubi's and continued flying at the Kyuubi in the dust cloud. Since he knew the kyuubi's location from the sound he made. And the Kyuubi itself was in the low visibility dust cloud he would find it hard to dodge. He was still high up above the tree's as the Kyuubi also released his red mist again. This would hinder thier efforts so before it reached him he began going through handseals taking a deep breath in and letting out a powerful gust of wind that leveled all the tree's but would also push the fog back towards the kyuubi. Though it wouldn't defeat the fog it would give them some time.
