Naruto Akatsuki Souzoku

[Xth]

"Hey, good to see you again, we totally got a really cool mission. I can't wait to see you in like really crazy action, I mean there has got to be some super explosive power inside you screaming to get out." He laughed, "Trust me, I know these things. You get to go to Kage Village."

Tsukasa listened to Sojiro intentively. He didn't like to be around extroverts but hell, working with someone was new to him as well. Upon Daaku's order to prepare for the mission, Tsukasa left the area. He sprinted off to the his home. In his room was a holster for kunai which he tied to the right side of his pants. Other than the kunai and his primary weapon, he carried a few paper bombs. Just as he was about to leave home, a sharp pain hit him in the stomach. This was a side effect to his possible transformation, only this time Tsukasa shrugged it off. He left to the village gates where Daaku and Sojiro were already waiting. He looked at his right arm, the flames with a red tint to them, burning. He ignored the pain and waited with the others for Raiden's arrival.

Ky and his team members were finally there "Oy. Now that we're all in attendance. Shall we make our way into the Mist Abyss?" Negavix pulled out a lantern, he then got a cart and hung his lantern on it "Remember to be mindful that there is someone inside and he can't escape. At any time we could receive an unexpected ambush so I am counting on you to remember the reason we were all placed into this unusually large team. Hence forth, lets be on our way. Team 29, MOVE OUT!" Negavix wheeled the cart our first, Ky pulled out his torch and followed.

"Heh...so Makoto, your our newest addition, could you tell us a little about yourself? It seems a bit odd, but we may have to make acquaintances again to familiarize ourselves." Negavix spoke as they exited the village. Ky looked at Makoto "Come on dont be shy, tell us everything!" Ky laughed and contuined walking into the mist. The team was nervous he could tell that, even he was nervous " A C+ mission for a genin's first mission?" he thought "I wonder if we will be alright".

Daaku turned to Tsukasa. he had gotten there rather quickly, but he didn't look like he was in the best of moods, of course from what he had seen so far, Tsukasa never looked like he was in a good mood around Daaku. At first he was just at a loss for words, the kid acted a lot like Kei. he was just a bit too moody for his own god, but there was always room for change. He didn't really need to avert his gaze. His eyes were completely black to the point where it wasn't exactly possible to see what he was looking at.

"So Tsukasa, I see you got here quicker than I expected. did you prepare properly, or merely rush to impress me??" He wanted to hear what kind of response this would arise from then genin.

Soujiro was totally picking his nose when he noticed that Daaku was looking at him like a drug addict. "Oh, my bad. I had to get it out."

[Xth]

"So Tsukasa, I see you got here quicker than I expected. did you prepare properly, or merely rush to impress me??" He wanted to hear what kind of response this would arise from then genin.

The boy looked up to Daaku. "Does it matter if I die unprepared?" He didn't want to seem as if he was challenging Daaku or being dramatic, it was how he felt. "Nevermind it. Anyway, what is the mission exactly?"

He remembered he wasn't told what was the purpose of the mission before he left to prepare. He looked at his teammate who seemed a bit embarrassed. Tsukasa would've had something to say but found he wasn't in the place to criticize Soujiro. That burning feeling on his arm intesified and the pain of his Crescent Gear clawed at him. He gave out a few strained grunts of resistance until both the burn and pain subsided. He clutched his katana tightly waiting to hear what the mission details were.

[Shadalicious Reminisce]

"Well duh." Daaku peered down at the genin. "Of course it matters if you die unprepared. You are a ninja, and one who should have the will of fire as well. Why would you possibly speak such an atrocity?? Hell never mind, I dunno about you sometimes." He was about to say more, but Tsukasa asked about the mission, but at the same time had a very pained look on his face, and Daaku could see something going on with his inner chakra workings that was a bit disturbing, he seemed to be having a flux of some sort, but as long as the boy didn't collapse, or worse, Daaku would just leave it be."

Soujiro really wanted something else to do and was becoming impatient with Raiden, so he spoke up instead of Daaku. "Well we weren't given all of the details, but the mission is encompassed of like stuff. we have to go to some temple in the forest near where I'm from to get something from inside there." He giggled, a sound which made Daaku's face flush, and his skin was dark.........

"Umm, yeh, that was crude, but pretty much that is all we know so far, after we get to Kage Village the Kagekage will tell us the rest of the information. if you need anything else just ask okay??"

[obbsessed fan]

"Bombs to the left, bombs to the right, they really make you feel like it is war don't they?"


"It is war...." Yuki sweat droped while running and keeping her head down.

A few seconds later Rayex fell into a hole. "Keep going!" he called.

'Don't have to tell me twice.' Yuki thought while ducking for a kunai that came at her head. She ran on after the call, you can't hesitate at this place.

After they got about half way Rayex-sensei popped out of the ground again, she saw for a second that it looked like a chakra drill he used, but when he popped out he quickly shut it off.

"The distance is much larger than I calculated." He said as the sphere relinquished, the looked to see where his team treaded. "Lets keep moving guys."


Yuki nodded and continued to run straight through the war zone, keeping all senses alert for attack.

OOC: MAYBE TO CRAZY FOR THE YOUNGER AUDIENCE. PG-13!!!!! DISCRETION IS ADVICED... MANY INNUENDOS IMPLIED!!!!!!

There they were, kissing, as if they were in their own reality, just them, their own world. Both their eyes were closed, letting their lips guide them, their tongues playing.

Shira enjoyed being in Sano's clutches, the move she had made only felt natural. This man always seemed to do the right thing for any situation. Then it happened...

It was just instinct. Sano's hands rose from her hips to her bosom, with left hand still on his corresponding hand. He could feel Shira suddenly twitched, and made somewhat of a squeal, obvious not ready for that.

In unison, they had both opened their eyes as their lips parted. Shira's face had turned a bright red, her eyes partially opened enjoying every moment. Sano had a slight smirk on his face. Dirty things that only the mind could think of were playing back in their own imagination.

"Eh, this is unlike anything you have done before..." She said, panting a little bit. "Why out here?"

Sano laughed a bit, and moved his lips back on hers without any resistance. She gripped his left hand, letting the feeling take over. Sano moved from her lips down to her neck, her breathing getting heavier. Something caused Sano to suddenly stop though, something from a distance had just entered rushed their way into Kumo.

"You sensed that too, didn't you?" She complained. "Talk about bad timing..."

"Eh, this will have to wait... I guess..." He admitted, upset as well.

He jumped off the building, and jumped his way to the entrance using the flash steps. As he landed near towards the entrances, he dropped down right next to someone familiar.

"Heh, Sano, I tried to get back as quick as I could, but their was a few guys in my way..." Sin said exhaustedly. "But, Rayex... got the letter."

Sano suddenly took an interest in it.

"Well, what did he say!?" He exclaimed, shaking the life out of Sin. "Is he coming, is he even talking to me anymore!? What happened to Ayumi???"

"Hey, calm down... Give me a break!" Sin yelled. "God, he is fine."

Sano watched Sin walk off towards the mansion, probably to take a break in the room that Shira had provided for any messenger that came into the village.

"Heh, told me one hell of a story didn't he..." He said discouraged.

[Zexilicious]

It seemed that Ryoku and Zetsumei took hours on their way to Orochimaru's western hideout. There was nothing to talk about, since Zetsumei wanted to get this done fast, all he could do was watch the clouds pass by. It felt like such a long time, when really it was only about a half an hour to an hour on the way there. He sometimes would just kick the sides of the bird he was flying onto have a different amount of speed on their way there.

Once they arrived there, Ryoku was a little disappointed. He thought it would be this hella awesome structure that was like sixty feet tall! And he gets this giant rock...with a hole in it for gods sake. Well, he guessed it would be pretty wise. A small hole to get in, nobody knowing that it is your base. He didn't know why Orochimaru was afraid of getting caught by other Shinobi though. All he had to do was summon up a snake to bite their heads off. Yeah...that would be cool.

"Well, lets get cracking shall we?" Ryoku jokingly said, as he jumped off his fire bird. He made a seal and the bird just turned into a big puff of smoke.

Ryoku walked towards a hole in the giant rock that was being put off as a base. He walked inside, and starred around. Well the interior is better than the exterior at least, even if the interior is old and dusty. He wondered what he would find in the structure. Chances are they probably would find nothing, but he guessed there was no problem in checking.

[Kissui Tensai]

Several hours ahead.

Upon Kumogakure did team seventeen approach. They were at the base of the mountain and going up the large flight up steps heading into the mountain. A warm smile inhabited Rayex's expression, he hadn't been this happy since the discovery of Ayumi's pregnancy almost nine months ago. With a shrug lugging the clad on his back, his students behind him, only thoughts of reuniting with his father and Shira were on his mind. Upon the gates themselves they came to a halt, Rayex holding his hand up opening his palm with the little symbol of Kumo etched onto his hand.

"The konoha messengers have arrived."

With his words, the gates did open up wide. Turning back to his team, he gave them a short saying, "Welcome to Kumogakure." The village having changed quite a bit since they last saw it. To the right and light a string of building built up from concrete and wood. Ahead of them straight was the yellow and white mansion belonging to the Raikage. The mountain head behind him, the three faces of the raikage, only with a new addition, this blew Rayex's mind.

"Well look at that, they added Shira's face to the Raikage Mountain, looks even more womanly than I initially gave her credit for." Rayex laughed.

As they walked forward down the street, the memories were coming back. Not far from the mansion in the west part of the village was Daaku's old mansion, no doubt Hotaru, Kaito, and Aiko were living in it. Scratching his head, he laughed and came upon the raikage's yellow mansion. As they passed down the hall and headed upstairs, they stopped at the main door. Talking could be heard from within, with a swift knock, Rayex jingled the knob and then opened the door.

"Long time no see...Shira??" his eyes widened to see she suddenly had gotten shorter.

The room occupied by only this woman.

'She's as beautiful as ever.'

~~~~~~~~~~~

Wheeling the cart to the spot in the mist. It was quiet. Too quiet even fitting of this village; Negavix was looking forward through the mist as best he could as there was but a shinobi walking forward through the mist with a team of three other ninja. These three ninja were suna chuunin, slightly older than Negavix's students. It was interesting, but by their disposition they'd become distinguished ninja.

"Will ya look at that. Those kids are already chuunin, thats pretty amazing, but a bit drastic for an exchange." Negavix said.

"So your the team dispatched to make the exchange. How do we even know our comrade is alive?"

Negavix nodded, and and opened the blinds on the cart and from within they could see their comrade. This made Negavix uneasy, it was as though they had some type of well planned out escape measure. The person they detained in that cart was not a shinobi, but a well trained man of the sword. Not his ninjutsu that was deadly, but Kenjutsu happened to be his specialty. Well skilled in sword techniques, he was really a dangerous assassin, something Negavix could counter on the fly if he needed to.

"Let us commence, send us the supplies."

There was a brisk silence.

"Well? This is the exchange, we have the more valuable of the two, do not test my patience, I am not to be trifled with." Negavix firmly stated flicking his black hair.

"Showtime."

'!?!?!?'

The first smokebomb was thrown leaving them in a huff, as the footsteps of the enemy were on the rush. A quick shout to Asumo to pick the out in the confusion and form a four sided defense formation around the cart. A swift kick to the chest from their leader in the shuffle, Negavix flew off the bridge and was quickly pursued by their leader.

"We'll be taking our comrade back."
"Are you so sure. Never underestimate the power of my team." Negavix stood on the water and smiled. "Make me proud guys!!"

~~~~~~Will Edit Onisan not getting crushed.~~~~~~

[Optical Justice]

Kaito stopped resarching the books and media and decided to go Get some rest il speak with speak with Sano about more details about being a messanger." I need more direct details from him myself" He scratched his head perplexed about what he should do with his new found occupation and when he would start. Kaito stretched and yawned loudly his eyes were barely open as he made his way to his room and closed the door.

The Large window was slighty open letting the air fill the house with a cool breeze. he walked out the door and closed it behind him. " Wonder how the lil one is." a image of Joi crosed his head. "sure is a mannerable child good job sano" Kaito began to laugh as he walked down the street until he got to the mansion. He stood outside for a while " Sano Where you at"

[Chaotic Misery]

It had been several hours since they had left Konoha. They had been moving quickly the whole time only slowing now since he let the children get a drink of water fomr their canteens. They would have to cross a small forest before reaching the desert. "Hurry up. Luckily the sun is still up. We'll make camp in the middle of this forest at sun down." Arashi said.

Suddenly Arashi felt something wasn't right. It was like he was being watched. Three kunai flew toward his students from the trees. Arashi quickly turned, tossing two kunai and a shuriken to counter act the kunai. "Come out now." Arashi said loudly whoever was watching them. Out jumped a red haired man and two ninja. "Rengoku." Arashi said surprised.

OOC: Short post because i'm sleepy.

[Shadalicious Reminisce]

"Oh wow, another loser huh?? Rengoku huh?? What does this piece of shit have to do with you Arashi sensei??" He looked at the man, whom was obviously a ninja, but looked like he had seen better days, much better days. Kei eyed him, and turned away, sitting on the ground. "This is lame, why are bitches attacking us??"

The entire way there, he had been stuck with Zenith and Ceon, it was so annoying. he really had a thing for Zen, but he could tell that Ceon was going to make things difficult, it made him want to stab him in the eye with a kunai and rip it out." A smile played across his face as he thought about Ceon screaming.........

--------

Daaku, and his team had left Konoha and they continued on in the direction of the Hidden Cloud Village as it was really the only way to get to the Hidden shadow. They were close, but close wasn't going to cut it. Daaku looked back, and saw that the ninja were trailing behind, not like they were tired, but because he was moving a bit faster than usual. Soujiro was flying around and doing flips in the air, making the trip a bit more interesting, but maybe for the others unbearable. The Burakkuai eyes on Daaku were wide and bulging, looking at soujiro was tiring him out. "What is he on??" A list of things came to mind.......

rock coke smack flat meth misc. etc.

"Heyy uncle Daaku look we are almost to the forest, it is just up ahead." He sighed, his nephew was right, they were close, but he was suddenly feeling distracted."

The reason for distraction was right on the top of Daaku's mind, and he knew what the impending feeling was. it was remorse, there was a gut feeling of when he had been in the forest with Raito, and the others. It was nearly 13 years before, but the memory was still so fresh. The forest was riddled with dangers that he was admittedly thinking that these ninja were not ready for. The only one whom might have a chance was Soujiro, and that was not because he was family, nor strong, but because his training in years prior no doubt led him through the forest, and to the entrance and exits, as there were multiple...........

[Chaotic Misery]

Arashi turned to Kei and smacked him the back of the head while saying "Quit being foolish. These lame bitches could kill you if you **** up." He was pissed for things that happened awhile ago. He thought Rengoku was dead and gone. That meant if Rengoku was alive then Taigoku was somewhere near, watching his older brother. "Take those two ninja. I'll face off against Rengoku." Arashi said angrily. The two ninja beside Rengoku grinned as Rengoku spoke "Look I don't know how you know me, but it looks as though i'll have to kill you and take your stuff. Zet, Sumi, kill the kids. I'll take the man." Zet nodded and walked forward while doing handsigns.

"Eat this. Rock River jutsu." Zet said as he placed his hands along the ground. Right underneath Ceon, Zenith, and Kei's feet, the ground turned into quicksand, sucking them in. As that happened, Sumi did several handsigns, and yelled "BOULDER SPIKE JUTSU!" Three large rocks was blasted into the air from a mere stomp by Sumi. The boulders then formed int three large spikes. Sumi then directed each one toward Ceon, Kei, and Zenith. "You better survive or, no eating until tomorrow night." Arashi said to his students. Just then Rengoku did several handsigns and said "Subzero Death." Water from water molecules were shaped into ice and then up to thiry frozen birds. They were sharp and flew straight toward Arashi.

Rengoku then hid a kunia and shuriken behind each bird. Arashi watched the movement of each bird, dodging them and the kunai and shurikens bounced off Arashi's kaiagara armor. Arashi was much faster then Rengoku and was already in Rengoku's face with a swift punch. Then he raised his knee, slamming it into Rengoku's stomach. Gripping his coat, Arashi turned and threw Rengoku into a near by tree. Kankuro needed that medicine soon.

[Shadalicious Reminisce]

The battle was started already, and Kei yawned, and rubbed the back of his head. He didn't get why something was always happening, but as long as there was battle, he could get stronger, he could get better, he could become something to be proud of, he could become the ultimate shinobi, or at least something cool sounding like that.

"Damn it."

Right from the start, the attacking ninja started to perform jutsu. "Eat this. Rock River jutsu." The ground started to sink in a bit, and meshed to quicksand like substance, but Kei was on top of things, he made a series of hand signs and jumped off the quicksand, using chakra from his feet to harden it as he leaped up.

While jumping, Kei moved his hand across the ground, picking bits of sand,a nd grime as he made hand signs fro his jutsu. As he did this, the ninja performed another jutsu that involved making large rock spikes, probably to impale the ninja, but his Ama Dansu wasn't going to fail yet. He whipped out a kunai with a specialized bomb tag on, that encased the earth element transformation from his jutsu.

He chucked the kunai down right at the ninja, and it struck the sandy ground, causing an explosion that blew up chunks of dirt, and rock at the ninja. "Earth Buster Jutsu!!!", Kei called out and put his hand near his mouth."You aren't going anywhere."

The cloud of sand and smoke was still present, and he used this to finish the jutsu. This part of the jutsu was unavoidable. the just and rock from the jutsu was in the air, and Kei spit out a stream of chakra that mixed through the dust and sand that was settling around the ninja, it caused the sand, mud, rocks, and sediment to harden instantly, trapping the ninja in an encasement of rock...........

[Xth]

The next village awaited them. Tsukasa was trying to keep up with Daaku but made sure he wouldn't exert all his energy. He didn't necessarily feel safe here mostly because of what he heard from his father and uncle. The pain in his stomach didn't rest at all. Daaku looked faster in the boy's eyes and farther away. He shook the feeling and continued following. He examined Soujiro's movements. At first, Tsukasa thought that was simply a side effect to the pain but it was real. He was going to say something but kept his mouth sealed. Once Soujiro stated that the exit was close, he was mildly happy but still worried and kept his right hand tapping the hilt of his katana to prepare for the worst of events to happen.
