Naruto Akatsuki Souzoku

[Xth]

Graduation day was over and the time for the students to become Genin arrived. Tsukasa Akizichi was among them. He had already retrieved his headband, his proof of being a Konoha Shinobi. He was on his way to meet his sensei, Fang Raito. He didn't wish for a team but to his parents' objections, Tsukasa gave in and was assigned to Team 12. The thought of those who'd be left in the academy until the next final exams raced in his mind. However, he gave up the will to actually care and dashed to where his sensei waited. He knew he was late to get there and punctuality wasn't his strong suit. Tsukasa skidded to a stop when he reached the grounds where two people were waiting.

The boy bowed. "I am Tsukasa Akizichi, one of your pupils." He raised his body straight up. "You are Sensei Raito, right?"

[UltimaSora07]

Raiden had already graduated and had his Headband on and was now headed towards his other two teammates and his Sensei.He used his Byakugan to check where they were and to see how far he was from them.He was about a minute away and while headed there he was thinking about his life as a Ninja and how hard it would be.The choices he would have to make and problems he would face but with all that in mind he was even more confident about being a Ninja.The thought of his parents had crossed his mind but even though he never really knew them,he knew they were proud of him for all his hard work.

Now he had arrived to his teammates spot and stood in the background waiting to be noticed or at least given an order or something since his Sensei was dealing with his two teammates.

[Shattered Redemption]

Rather than scared his new pupil, Daaku put his blade away at the last second and shrugged at their introductions. He was still a bit annoyed, so he rethought about what his new student had said. "I am Tsukasa Akizichi, one of your pupils.You are Sensei Raito, right?" He bowed slightly, and smiled. Fang looked his new student over, making sure there was enough chakra in his body for training ahead. He must have had something or other if he had graduated, but one could never be sure with these kinds of things. He shrugged, and looked at him again.

"Well it's nice to meet you I suppose, but before we get started on anything, a few things need to be done. I have a special mission for all of you actually. But because you all aren't here," Fang looked to the bushes where Zenith was still hiding for no apparent reason. "Ah, forget it, Zenith can just fail this part, your other teammate is here." Fang's eyes didn't miss much, in fact they didn't miss anything, it was only that he chose not to pay attention to everything, it made life so much more interesting.

A few steps got Fang over to his other student, and he motioned the other one over. "I want you all to go to the second district of Konoha, and enter the warehouse on the second level. There is a man waiting there, he has a package that I want you to return to me. No matter what happens, don't open it, and don't drop, or allow any harm to come to this package. That is all, now go!!!!!"

[UltimaSora07]

"Right!"

Raiden headed out but made sure his teammate was with him so he wouldnt mess up and especially on his first mission.Also with his Byakugan still on he could see the warehouse somewhat far from where he was.He wondered if his teammate was going to be a screw up like the one behind the bushes trying to fool someone.Or a skilled teammate like the ones he has heard about.But if he was in between he guessed it would be good aswell.

[Xth]

The new pupil tuned his sensei out until he heard the word mission pop up. He didn't necessarily hear him correctly and tried to hide his oblivious knowledge of the man's words to him and his teammate or teammates, if the one who'd fail was still with them.

"I want you all to go to the second district of Konoha, and enter the warehouse on the second level. There is a man waiting there, he has a package that I want you to return to me. No matter what happens, don't open it, and don't drop, or allow any harm to come to this package. That is all, now go!!!!!"

What he heard was right, their first mission as official Konoha Genin. Tsukasa turned to his teammate, the one who was visible and looked him up and down. He fixed his eyes upon him and stared for a while before walking to the exit.

"Let's just not fail this, okay?" he spoke to his first ally a little nervous. "I don't take failure to well. Anyway, I'm Tsukasa. You are?"

[Kissui Tensai]

That anxious little rookie just grew a spine. This is remotely intriguing.

Rayex deviously thought.

“Can I please have a bell Rayex-sensei?”

"Eh? What now?" Rayex hadn't expect this from Yuki, but things were moving.

Azuke quickly assessing what was in front of him revealing something Rayex had not quite seen before. There was no need to invoke Neo's gift, so he stood a calm figure. The calling of a small plan, following on without a hitch to Kai, he relayed. This was oh the more interesting, Rayex still keeping his giddy tidings locked up in his un-deterring disposition. The quickening as they sprung into the fray, his eyes moved to see Azuke go on the assualt. Yuki within the same spot, this wouldn't be a problem, he would merely "shed" his skin and quickly fly. His students, even new, would need to know how he got his nick name after all.

Pillars spiked, armed with exploding tags.

"Impressive, your guile is adequate..."

The jounin had a rapid body convulsion shooting what appeared to be raw colored chakra to whisk Yuki up in a blind flash before coming to the realization of it. In his clad, the momentary vanish to leave Rayex himself among the explosive fireworks. He smiled. A quick laugh, reaching into his clad, from the space of the inside he amassed an armed blade of astronomical size, housing eleven more to finish off the twelve total. The slice lockings separating into three to halt the blades down.

"Not bad, but look again..."

What appeared to be Rayex-sensei eagerly spoke locking splitting blade of his in between Azuke's choice tool. Waiting for them to catch up, twenty meters behind the initial spot them embarked out popped the swift wave of Rayex's clad. Yuki popping out with him, he'd forgotten the darkness genjutsu from looking (if you looked) from the inside would leave her in the dark for a minute more. Without haste he moved from his spot leaving yet another chakraganger to keep his swiftness as he went into hiding.

"Shinobi battle tactic no. 1. Taijutsu." The chakraganger said unto Azuke pushing up him and his bunshins.

Drawing his blade back into his clad, far too heavy to attempt to lug around lest he expose the titled jutsu. With a sigh, he leaned over a bit and scratched the back of his head once eyes on Azuke and Kai, if he moved. Still between the pillars, he could escape at a given, but awaited for this tactic to fall into place.

Over Yuki his other did stand to say.

"Hey, Yuki?" Moving his hands up to twist the air for a sound and visual combination genjutsu, Rayex appeared to vanish.

The forest dark, hindering not that they had moved. Was this a trick of some sort? One with her lax attitude for things, this should be a snap, be it not for the struggle being presented before her. Kai and Azuke on the attack of Rayex-sensei. His rapid speed, without even blinking ripping a fierce kunai into Kai, and tossing him unto Azuke to pass into the stump. His eyes, no longer silver, but filled with the blood of his students slowly making his way over.

"Your next....HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

OOC: Savagery, thy name is Rayex.

[Imperial Chaos]

Shouten sighed in slight annoyance as he made his way towards the academy. 'Team 21, huh?' He had heard some things about Alizarin and Ryuukira but he didn't really know them. As the academy came into view, Shouten reached for his mp3 and paced his headphones on his ears. This would take a while.

He slid the door open and ignored the mutters of 'freak' and 'weird-ass'. He just glared at them and promptly gave the, the finger, his one visible eye turned blank. Some bristled in anger while others shouted at him. Shouten sighed once more and took his seat beside the window. 'Where the heck is our sensei?"

[TheDood]

Ryuukira had his head down on his desk as if he were sleeping, yet if you were one to pry into other peoples business you could here him muttering something. "Dull.. dull.. dull.. dull.." Ryuukira said under his breath multiple time before looking up at the front of the room. "Where the hell is our sensei..!" he said aloud for the class to hear, before anyone could reply or even look over at him he slammed his head back down onto the desk making a loud 'thud!'. The room was practically becoming empty, only a couple kids were left aka the failures. "Dull.. dull.. dull.. DULL.." Ryuukira continued to say to himself in a practical whisper.

[Nebula Zero]

"Damn...!"

His frontal assault had completely backfired. His sensei had this strange weapon. Whatever it was, it easily parried off his assault. And for his consequence, Azuke was sent back a great deal, into the side of a tree nearby. The tree broke down, a loud rumble echoing throughout the forest. Azuke tried to catch his breath. The wind was literally knocked out of him. He spit out some blood, looking over to the battlefield. His Einlanzer was on the other side. Rayex was heading towards his comrades. He needed his weapon, he thought, but he was not fast enough.

"I didn't think I'd have to use it here. But I guess I do." he said, pointing his open hand towards his distant weapon. He focused upon it, and soon his chakra reached a break.

"Kekkei Genkai..activate."

Upon saying these words, the Einlanzer started to wiggle. Azuke focused more, and soon it started to shake. Then in a whisk, The massive blade came flying towards Azuke. His hand grasped the handle of his blade upon return, Azuke getting up. Electricity started to crackle around his sword arm. Then the crackle became a full blown surge. The metal from the weapon seemed to fluctuate, and move. It spread along his sword arm, like a liquid, almost. Azuke took his other hand, and touched the spreading metal, it reaching the other arm as well. And soon it spread throughout his legs.

"You may be powerful, but I refuse to give in!"

When the smoke cleared, he finished. His arms and legs were now encased in a durable metal. Red lines reached from the bottom of his jaw into each eye, the eyes now a light red color. His Einlanzer had disappeared, and for good reason. He had become the Einlanzer itself. A partial transformation, he thought, but it would have to do. With it, he brought two fingers together from each hand.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" he said, producing about 7 clones around him. Him, along with his clones, pulled long, slender pieces of metal from their arms. They looked like makeshift katanas. Azuke gave a nod to his clones, and they all charged towards Rayex. They surrounded him first, and then several leaped for an aerial attack, while the others tried for a ground assault. Clones including himself, all with psuedo-swords in each hand. He had to hit, he thought. Hit with at least one of them.

[Imperial Chaos]

Shouten's eye twitched as he heard the banging of a head onto a desk. It was starting to grate on Shouten's nerves. He gripped his blade and held himself back from the annoyance which seemed to interrupt his 'music' time. With that one last bang, he stood up and walked over to Ryuukira. He grabbed his head and muttered," Here...let me help you!" He pushed Ryuukira's head towards the desk creating a crack. With that done, his lips twitched at the side and he headed back to his desk and read a textbook out of boredom.

[TheDood]

Ryuukira slowly raised his head from his desk looking forward, blood was trickling down his forehead to his chin. "You.. ass.. hole.." Ryuukira said under his breath "I'm.. going.. to.. kill.. YOU!" with that Ryuukira quietly lifted his seat and chunked it at the back of Shouten's head. The force knocked Shouten forward and his head phones out of his ears. Ryuukira gave off a slight grin as he sat back down and wiped the blood off his face.

[Imperial Chaos]

As his headphones escaped his ears, he turned towards Ryuukira slowly with dead eyes. He sighed in slight annoyance and placed his earphones back on and walked out of the room leaving a kaze bunshin to keep watch if their sensei arrived. "I'm taking a walk. Our sensei might not be here for a while." Shouten jumped out the window and into a tree and onto the roofof a house and jumped off, heading towards his clan compound.

[Shattered Redemption]

"Heyy uh, Dad?? What is the point of this, I mean seriously just because Arashi Sensei is late I have to hel p with this. Don't you think that we should......." A wave from a man's hand shushed the young ninja, and he remained silent, slinking back into the shadows as he repaired for his little bit of fun before the official and real training supposedly began, even though there was no way it was something he couldn't handle. suspense was something he was good at, so he was all for it it there was rewards involved. "Heyy can I....." This time he got knocked in the side of the head. "Fine, I get it geez, you don't gotta hit me."

The shadows covered the appearances of both people, but in mere seconds, a mna stepped out into the area that lead to the outside of the second level warehouse, and he held a single package in his hand. The man didn't move, but he was completely covered, other than a long ponytail that ran all the way down his back. He continued to stand still, and watched two ninja approach, no doubt to take the package he held. He thought there were supposed to be three..........

Daaku smiled as he sat down on air. "Hmm they are almost there......."

[Azazel]

OOC: Lulz, didn't we graduate already? xD

IC:

The Academy
The words echoed in Alizarin's head, as she sat atop of a heightened branch. Feet dangling. Hair blowing. The tree that she rested at was positioned across from the Kumogakure Academy. The academy that she, not long ago, had graduated from. She merely looked down from the tree as the new academy students piled through the door. All wanting to become Genin. Become Genin, just to be thrown into battle. How cool...

But those years of wishing were over for Ali. She had become a full-pledged Genin.

"Hotaru Raiken..."
She whispered to herself as she looked down at a small piece of paper in her hand. Her new team assigned to her. Her destiny carved with a kunai.

Jounin Sensei:
Hotaru Raiken

Genin Members:
Alizarin Morningstar
Ryuukira Higurashi
Shouten Nai

There was nothing left for Ali to do but to wait for Team 21's first gathering...

[Chariot of Fire]

Graduation.

To some, this meant the world. To some, it meant a breath of relief, like air to someone trapped under the ocean. To some, it meant excitement, for they would soon be out among the world, living out their dreams, and for some, their nightmares. It seemed like so long ago, but in reality, it was only in the last hundred years where graduation meant death for more then half of the graduates… Ever since that fateful night in the Hidden Village of Mist… Even the mention of the Demon of the Bloody Mist Village will send traitorous shivers down the spines of the sternest ninja…

For Asumo Daeus, graduation didn’t mean any of these things. In fact, when he stepped out of the doors of the Academy, he only noticed the beauty of the Village around him… Kirigakure… The still waters, the lush greenery, and the golden island itself seemed to be the only thing that impressed him about the village… While students ran screaming around him, smiling and laughing with relief at there current graduation, Daeus simply shrugged, slipping his long slender hands into his pockets, walking carefully to the location he was told to meet his team. Team 29… He hadn’t known much about the members that were part of his team, but he had heard a bit about the Jounin that was to train them… Negative something or other. He had quite a reputation though, from what he had heard around the Academy… Perhaps his training would amount to something…

Asumo Daeus walked through the crowds of rushing students, towering high above most of the other kids his age. Although he was only 14, he stood at a towering height if six feet, accentuated by the extreme skinniness. Whispers followed him as he walked smoothly past, and once young ninja, who had yet to graduate, whispered to his parent.

“Mommy, why’s that scarecrow moving around?” The mother shushed him quickly, and Daeus only smiled, shaking his head slightly so that his tussled back hair moved easily in the breeze. That wasn’t a new one. In fact, the insults had inspired one of his latest genjutsus… He hoped he would have a chance to test it out in a real battle soon… However, this random train of thought was interrupted as he felt the spray of the see splash against his face. His emerald green eyes focused, and he slipped the hands out of his pockets, allowing them to sway with the breeze as he neared the water’s edge.

His teacher, the Jounin, was sitting on the water. His eyes were closed, and he seemed to be at peace as he waited for them. Daeus frowned slightly, cracking his thumb slightly to alert the teacher of his presence. Maybe his impressions of his sensei were wrong… However, the Jounin slowly opened his eyes, and Daeus saw the unmistakable crimson and black sheen of the almighty Sharingan… He would have whistled slightly as he gazed at the legendary Kekkei Genkai before him, but those were reserved for secret signals and extremely beautiful women.

Instead he simply stood on the edge of the lake, waiting for his sensei to address him, his eyes drifting from the Sharingan as he examined the rest of his sensei. Eh, not to shabby. He had seen worse dressed shinobi. It wasn’t an orange jumpsuit at least. He twisted his neck to the side, cracking it slightly, and suddenly heard footsteps approaching from either side. He glanced to his left to see a student who was unmistakably one of his team mates. Ah yes, the Iacima character. He had seen the blue-silver haired ninja a few times in the Academy. He had never really become acquainted, but he did not dislike him for any reason. As for the other one, he glanced over to his other team mate, whom he also sensed some familiarity. What was his name? Started with a ‘V,’ didn’t it? At any rate, he nodded to both his team mates in acknowledgement, before the words of his new sensei broke upon him like a waterfall.

"Welcome to Team 29. I am your sensei, Negavix Kunokai, with me your going to be going into the ninja world as upright adults with more responsibility. I don't know what it is you've been taught at the academy, but here things will be different, things will count and come back to bite you if you haven't mastered the basics. Your part of a great cycle of future shinobi. Stand now before me, and address to me your names, even tell me a little about yourselves. We'll start with you, in the middle.”

Future shinobi, upright adults, things will be different, coming back to bite you, part of a great cycle, and intro.

These keywords shot through Daeus’s brain like chakra itself, and he blinked in time with the way he heard things. Negavix Kunokai, that’s what his name was… Interesting name… And now it’s time for the intro…

“My name is Asumo Daeus, of the Asumo clan,” he stated clearly, his voice naturally low and creaking, like a beam of wood in a drafty old house, “A little bit about myself? I got some experience with metals, and yes, I do eat three meals a day.” He motioned to his obvious unnatural thinness, letting his eyes flash with a slight sense of humor before returning to his blank, analytic stare. If he was going to be working with these people for a long time, he better break the ice right from the start.
