This page contains the information and the start of a story about a young boy from Kirigakure. In time what will become of the boy? Will he turn into one of those cold blooded killers the Mist is known to produce? Will he become another one in the crowd?
This page will one day contain those answers for the out of character curiousity.
Background
From birth Tsiro found trouble. While his eyes were the typical red found in the clan, his hair was black as night, though if one looked closer they would find a heavy silvery tint. Being as his parents were already unstable, this caused things to become worse between the two. Combined with their Kaguya blood and pride, neither side liked to back down. Often times these altercations ended with one of them knocking the other out cold. That was until Tsiro's third birthday.
On Tsiro's third birthday, he witnessed an altercation between his parents. The altercation ended with his father being killed by his mother's kekkei genkai. His mother followed to the next world almost moments later. The boy was found a day later and sent to live with his uncle.
His uncle served as a Chuunin to the village for a while and was definitely just as unstable as Tsiro's father. While the reason has never been exactly clear, the Uncle treated Tsiro as a punching bag. It was there that Tsiro grew strong and even where he practiced most of his taijutsu during his years in the academy.
Unlike other students, Tsiro only practiced his Taijutsu. He never learned the basics like the clone jutsu or the substitution jutsu. He also had no friends. If he was not practicing his taijutsu on other students, the boy remained distant from others. At first his teachers saw a lot of promise in him, though as time went on they began to wonder if he would pass the final exam.
For the final exam, the teachers selected a student, who had a high success rate of escaping Tsiro, to be his partner. The two boys were taken to the Blood Marsh and pitted against a giant Crocodile. The battle went on for hours and when it was finished, only Tsiro left alive. The kid had taken a beating but proved to have a higher level of endurance.
Personality
While Tsiro does not suffer from any type of multiple personality disorder, he does have many parts to his personality. In general the boy shows a strong work ethic, even as a shinobi. While he will not throw a physical tantrum over failure, it is obvious that failure does bother him. Enough so that he would strike to become stronger due to it, instead of dismissing it.
In general Tsiro is a calm person. He strives to be the opposite of most Kaguya. Despite this calm nature, he often speaks his mind. In Kirigakure, this usually leads to trouble. Even against people he knows would or will beat him up, the boy shows no signs of fear.
Like the rest of the Kaguya clan there are some traits even Tsiro cannot escape. In a fight, his attitude becomes that of a natural killer. His blood begins to boil. Though he has yet to hit a full on rage, he has had times where he is not far from it. There is also the pride of being a Kaguya on the battle field. A pride he does not carry off the battle field.
Appearance
The pale skin of this child stands out the most. Though it is not milky white, it is a few shades lighter than the average person. There are a number of cuts and bruises across his skin. Some of them are fresher than others. The kid stands around the 5 foot mark, though for his size he would seem almost malnourished.
His attire is on the simple side. A red velvet shirt and darker pants. Both would appear to be riddled with tears. He wears the head band marking him as a member of the hidden mist village. The band seems to sit fairly low as it is right above his eyes. His feet are bare.
One who did not know of this boys origins could swear he was of the Kaguya clan based on his eyes alone. They are of the deepest crimson color. His black hair is kept extremely short. It was not nearly long enough to ball up in the traditional fashion of his clan. This seemed deliberate. Though if caught in the right light, one could spot a heavy silver tint to the hair.
Relationships
| Name | Relationship | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Kuroenko Sekisetsu | Ally | From the moment we met we have had a rivalry. She is more condescending than Meruin. The chances are high that she has lived her life in a never ending genjutsu. That or she was hit too many times in the head. Though she has not done it to me yet, she has openly attacked Meruin on sight. |
| Meruin | Ally | This guy is extremely strong. In my first real combat experience, he beat up a Chuunin and two Genin from the Leaf. He watched me get beat up by two Uchiha Genin from the Leaf. He also rescued me after they toasted me. Other notes… he comes off as very condescending. |
| Okumo Daomi | Ally | During my only mission with this Okumo, he stood around and talked to an Aburame. I still am not sure if he was comparing notes on arachnids and insects or if he was looking for a mating partner. Despite this, he did manage to keep the Aburame off my back. |
| Maikeru | Ally | I admit I know little of this man. Among what I do know, he is not all darkness and destruction. While he would have people believe he holds the power of a demon, on at least one occasion he has shown to have a light side. Especially when dealing with Sensei. |
| Kaguya Kibushi | Ally | I really do not know a lot about this guy. He has quick reflexes and seems to know more about war than he does about social life. He is Kaguya though. |
|---|---|---|
| Kaguya Nori | Ally | My early memories of Nori depict him trying to pick fights with most Kirigakure Shinobi, even myself. For the most part the Kaguya blood lust is evident in this one. While this is one of our greatest weapons, he holds problems with the clan as I do. |
| Kaguya Takeshi | Head Elder | Very little is known of this clan elder. He seems to be saddened by the large number of Kaguya that seem ashamed of their heritage. He also seems to care greatly for the clan's well being. |
| Kaguya Tsun | Ally | The first person in the village to actually scare me. She has also been selected to be my partner for an arranged marriage. |
| Kaguya Yuuka | Sensei | Among the Kaguya, she may be the only one that is truly different. Where others seek to speak, she remains quiet. When others seek to pick fights, she shows compassion. While the other Kaguya judged me in a negative light, she did not. To further prove my point, while majority of the Kirigakure Shinobi pick fights or at least talk a big game, they all treat her with the respect of a loved family member. While I have not seen a dark side out of her, I imagine it does exist. |
| Name | Relationship | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Aburame Etsu | Leaf Genin | I really had been too busy fighting another to notice a lot about her. She is one of those bug people from the leaf. She also seemed to get along well with Okumo Daomi. She must be strange. |
| Inuzuka Taiki | Leaf Genin | I matched blades with this beast style ninja during the war. While he was not up to the challenge of fighting a Kaguya, he managed to survive. |
| Nara Shintaro | Leaf Chuunin | This shadow style user was dressed in a mask as we attacked his caravan. I was shocked when he took me hostage in order to protect the caravan. I never knew a leaf nin had it in them. He seems to hold a grudge against Kirigakure for the loss of someone close to him. He would make a perfect Mist Shinobi. |
| Uchiha Berii | Leaf Genin | During my first actual battle, she double teamed me. She roasted me with her clan's firestyle. It is my sincerest hope to one day pay her back. |
| Uchiha Naru | Leaf Genin | During my first actual battle, she double teamed me. She roasted me with her clan's firestyle. It is my sincerest hope to one day pay her back. |

Tsiro's Journal
I have spent a few days as genin now. Most of the shinobi in the village are hostile towards everyone. Even those of my own clan.
Nori practically challenged me to a fight. He has something against our clan. A Kaguya who hates Kaguya and picks random fights with them. I cannot say this guy fell too far from the tree. The sad part is I guess I can relate. Does that mean I did not fall far from the tree?
Takeshi gave me a lecture on how he could not understand the youth and why they feel like they do about the clan. It seemed like nothing was good enough for this guy. He's also the clan elder. If this is any glimpse of how things are life is going to get harder.
Meruin seems to be pretty powerful for as young as he is. The way he talks drives me nuts. He's always precise and speaking like he is better than others. I guess at one point he use to beat on Nori. That seems sort of impressive. He basically told me even if I become a wild beast I would serve the betterment of Kirigakure.
Maikeru seems like he has a level head though it is obvious he does not get along well with Nori. He also told me that we all are animals, but the reason is our own choosing and there are no excuses for what we choose. Supposedly this guy adopts people into his clan. Not sure why…
Sekisetsu is an obvious drama queen. She requires lots of attention or becomes easily upset. She also wants to roast me over a few comments. I really do not see playing into her delusions just because she cant handle failure. That's now how I work, even if she can roast me.
Yuuka seems to be the only one of the group that does not have any mental defect or open rage towards people, random or deserved. Everyone seems to show her respect. For a Kaguya this is a new concept to me. She is kind to me and reminds me a bit of my mother, at least what I know of my mother.
All in all I am surprised to have lasted my first few days as a genin. I wonder how much longer I will live at this rate. Luckily no one has thrown any punches at me yet.
In order to survive, I am well aware that I will need someone who can train me to become stronger. Given my first impressions, there are only a few people I think would be willing to do such.
Nori
Pros: He is strong.
Cons: He hates the Kaguya Clan.
Takeshi
Pros: He is a Kaguya Elder.
Cons: He does not ask why. Instead he voices displeasure at what is. Also will being an elder take time from training me?
Yuuka
Pros: She is respected by EVERYONE. She has the clan's kekkei genkai.
Cons: She has not shown any signs of physical strength.
I think Yuuka was the obvious choice. Some how she has managed to get the respect of the Kirigakure Animals. I hope that it is because she is strong or because she gives others reason to be strong. I am not sure either way, but she has accepted the offer to become my sensei.
She even gave me this bone dagger. She called it the 'Epigaea Dagger'. It is very detailed. Almost like a ceremonial knife made of bone, but I think she expects me to use it in combat. I would hate to break it. That would make me a bad student would it not? I think for now I will stick to kunai weapons.
I had received a summon to the entry way of the Village from Nori. Which seemed slightly off. But when I got there he was waiting with a wagon of goods. Sensei was there too. The mission details were to deliver the crates to the Smith in the Valley. Though it was never confirmed, the crates were filled with weapons. There was plenty of clanking during the ride.
It was a simple D rank mission. We had a single problem along the way. A pack of rabid wolves attacked. We killed a good number of them before they retreated back into the woods. I managed to kill two of them. I also sustained a wound. One of the wolves bit into my arm. I bashed in the skull of the beast until it let go.
All in all, mission was a success. This so beats catching stray dogs.
Today was suppose to be a simple mission. It was basic preemptive scouting of the Konohagakure Border. Though a few of us were suppose to show up at the designated spot, only two of us got there. Though I did not think it at the time, I was lucky Meruin showed up. The condescending bastard slapped me. I guess he could tell I would not be one to sit in his fact section of the arena.
Soon after that a force from the leaf village showed up. We were easily out numbered. I ended up fighting two Uchiha girls while Meruin fought an Uchiha girl and some guy with a cleaver.
My taijutsu allowed me to keep up with both of the girls for quite a while. Both of them seemed to use ninjutsu, mainly the style of fire. I held my own for the most part. Meruin stepped in twice. Once to block a huge fireball and the other time after they knocked me out.
I remember moving between the two of them. I had already been burned, but they managed to trap me and burn me from both sides. The next thing I remember I am waking up quite a ways from the field of battle. Meruin had some how revived me. He went back to fight more and sent me to the next location point.
I am not sure how I feel about Meruin after this. He is really strong. He proved it by fighting two people and still having time to save me. Then after I got dropped, he still went back for more. To think he is young than I am. He is still so condescending. Even during battle. He blamed me because we were spotted and suggested he cannot keep saving me from the weak. Maybe he is right. I still do not have to like it though.
As for those Uchiha girls. Their faces are burned into my memory. I will get my revenge. The next time I will have a few more tricks of my own to get around those fireballs.
Due to my injuries I was sent back to the village for a few days of down time. I guess Sensei noticed I was pretty upset about the loss to the two girls. She tried to cheer me up. I would not have it though. The taste of defeat was really bitter, especially with Meruin there.
I am not sure if Sensei is right, but she says that I have a misconception about those in the village around me. She told me the people around me really do care. Like Meruin and Sekisetsu. I am not sure if I believe her yet, but she is my sensei.
Also, she began teaching me how to use the Shikotsumyaku style. Mainly with the Epigaea Dagger. I was reprimanded for trying to protect the dagger. I was told that we are Kaguya and naturally hard on weapons. The dagger was made to last under those conditions.
I learned the basic slash of the style. It is a really simple concept. As you swing outwards flick the wrist going into the longest portion of the slash. This maximizes damage to an opponent. I practiced on a tree. The first time did not go so well. The second time I nearly broke the small tree in half. While this is not the elemental style I wanted to counter the Uchiha girls, it is a good start.
Again I was deployed into the land of fire. The target was anything that moved across the road. Well it happened to be a supply caravan from another nation.
The ambush was lead by Aoitsuki of the Shirayuki clan. It was my first time working with the Chuunin. There was also another Kaguya. His name is Takehiko. I've never met the guy before. The three of us attacked towards the caravan. Takehiko managed to kill a driver of one of the wagons while Aoitsuki attacked the shinobi guarding the other wagon.
The goal here was to prevent the supplies from reaching the leaf village. Instead of attack the shinobi I went to the driver-less wagon and attempted to steal the cargo. The horses were unresponsive to me, so I cut them free. The battle looked as though we were losing, so I pushed the cart over a hill and went for a ride. The others ended up retreating soon after. The second wagon made it through to the village.
While the mission goes down as a failure, I was able to bring the Mist supplies that would have otherwise been used against us. I believe my portion of the mission was a success. I guess in war you take what you can. I am still not sure why they did not destroy the wagon.
As for the shinobi guarding the other wagon. He seemed to be from the land of lightning. He also seemed very capable. I hope not all shinobi from there land are that good.
I was really excited to go on this mission with sensei. That way I could show her how well I was doing. Again we were guarding a road. This time we were waiting for a specific caravan. It was on time.
As sensei attacked the caravan a masked shinobi emerged. He stayed with the caravan. I waited for him to move and sensei even tried to get him to move from the caravan but he stayed planted to it. Finally I lept from my hiding spot. The masked shinobi appeared in front of me and used some form of shadow jutsu to lock me in place. He ransomed me to sensei for the safe passage of the caravan.
I was really shocked by his actions but even more shocked that sensei gave in. Once the caravan moved on he released me. Sensei could tell I was upset. She did not say a whole lot to me. I felt kind of worthless. Had I not been there she would have destroyed the caravan.
After that she took me back to the village to get checked out. I guess sensei finds me more value able than the mission. Part of me is happy for that, but part of me is still bummed about the mission. As for that leaf shinobi. I thought it was against their way to take children hostage. Oh well. He did have some beef over lost loved ones killed by Kirigakure.
This was suppose to be a basic scouting mission. We had gotten deep into the land of fire. It was Okumo Daomi and myself. He's from the same clan as Meruin. I never really worked with him, but he seemed less condescending than Meruin.
As we approached the Village, we were spotted by an Inuzuka and his dog. There was a girl from the Aburame clan as well. It was easy to decide opponents. I fought both the boy and his dog while Daomi… chatted with the girl.
The Inuzuka was unable to keep up with me. I sliced through both him and his dog like they were water or bread or whatever. I was happy. I felt something unique. It was as if this was my destiny. As the fight went on, eventually it became apparent the boy was not going to survive. The Aburame intervened and saved the boy. He sent his dog off for reinforcements.
Both Daomi and myself decided it was time to leave. The Inuzuka made it out with his life. I sure hope that Daomi got another date with that girl. I figure as enemies are concerned they got along real well. Damn Okumo.
Sensei and I were deployed to one of the northern islands in the land of water. We were guarding a supply ship to the village. Really I had thought this would be a very relaxed mission. Our forces were deep in enemy territory. The front lines were not even close to us.
That all changed when we were attacked. As a storm came in, two shinobi tried to blend in with the crew below the deck. I stayed above deck and attacked the first enemy shinobi I saw. If it were not for sensei's senses, I would have missed these guys. She went below deck to deal with those two. The guy I fought though seemed to be an expert at something other than taijutsu. I sliced his hand pretty good. He was no longer able to make hand signs. From there I was able to kill him.
I found another shinobi and attacked him, though he was better at hiding. Sensei had finished up below the deck and returned to help me out. Between the two of us, I was able to gain the upper hand and kill him. The mission was a success. Soon after the boat docked and we were back home.
This was a guard mission. Some hot shot rent-a-nin by the name of Kyoumen Satsukiyami was leading a sensor party or something like that into the land of fire. I am not sure exactly what they were after but Aoitsuki and Daomi were along with me for the protection part. We ran into some resistance soon after the rent-a-nin formed some water rain jutsu.
The force from Konohagakure consisted of a very round man wearing brown. He was probably from the Akimichi clan. A man that used a crystal jutsu. He did not seem to be from the leaf village, but an ally. Then there was the Inuzuka and his dog that I had hospitalized not too long ago. Daomi went back to the village to get some help before the large Akimichi shinobi made a giant wall to lock us in.
The rent-a-nin and Aoitsuki fought the Akimichi and the crystal user. On the other side of the inside of the wall, the Inuzuka and I battled again. We were under orders to retreat as soon as we had an opening though. I cut him and his little dog a few times. I would have gone further but the Akimichi launched some attack with a huge earth ball. The forming of the massive ball made a hole in the wall, so I was able to retreat.
On the subject of the Inuzuka boy. In our next fight, I will either kill him or at least learn his name. Aoitsuki seemed to be pretty out matched by the crystal user. The rent-a-nin seemed about even with the others. He was strong. I am not sure exactly how they got out. I followed orders and did not stick around. I think the mission was a success.
Before I get into what happened, I have to recall my first memory of Tsun. I found her in the woods. She was surrounded by injured men from both Kohonagakure and Kirigakure. The girl wore a blind fold and was playing a sadistic game with one of the leaf nin that was barely alive. Needless to say she is the first person, let alone a girl to actually scare me.
So… tonight Sensei brought me to the Elder's house. Takeshi and Tsun were both there. Tsun seemed rather upset. The girl was throwing a temper tantrum or so it seemed. Thats when things got a little hectic. Takeshi seemed to be conducting buisiness. It was then that Yuuka dropped a ton of bricks on me. She let me know that we we're interviewing for an arranged marriage. If Tsun's eyes could kill alone, I think my skin might have been attached the wall. I felt a piece of my soul enter into hiding as she scowled at me.
I tried to go along with it. Both Takeshi and Yuuka raised points to the marriage, though neither one actually stated me as a superior specimen. I kind of felt like a piece of meat. It was not really that bad a feeling. Tsun on the other hand showed how spoiled she actually is by leaving the interview. She returned by making a hole in the wall. Takeshi seemed okay with it. I guess she is not well disciplined.
The interview was really without a result. I guess this goes down as a failure, but I will keep an eye on Tsun. I think she is lonely and could use a friend. I might be wrong though.
I was sent on a mission to protect some cargo in the Fuuma Basin. Meruin was leading the mission. He seemed a little better for the time being. Either way, we ran into some shinobi from Konohagakure. One of them was an Uchiha girl from my first fight.
Like before she tried to hit me with a friend. I was able to cut her boyfriend down with my Epigaea Dagger. I then tore into her. I was lost in combat when I was hit by an acid like webbing. I vowed afterwards that one day I would pay Meruin back. Every single time I go out with him, he manages to piss me off.
Either way, I grabbed the girl's headband. I was the clear victor of the battle despite the interference from Meruin. Now we are tied. When the girl comes to get her forehead protector back, we will meet on the battlefield again and decide the true victor.
The mission was simple. Blow up the massive bridge in Konohagakure. I was with Kibushi as we made our way into enemy territory. Kibushi saved me as our boat came under attack. We abandoned the boat and reached shore. As we did, we were met by a group of combatants.
I was dueling against a boy my age. He was quick. He kicked me in the face and then wrapped me up in some cloth jutsu. I remember my vision turning red. It was like a dream, except for angry. It was very angry. Bones began to protrude from my hands as I watched the coward run back into the woods. I shredded the cloth and then went after the nearest enemy. I could smell blood on the girl. I was unable to hit her. It fueled my rage even more. Hatred filled the air. She managed to escape.
A rent a nin from the village hidden in the rain was able to blow up the bridge. We managed to keep the forces occupied long enough. I even gained the next step in my evolution.
The war has recently ended. Supposedly the allied force won because they destroyed our lazer. Oh well. I think I did rather well for a genin. Majority of my missions were successful and I ended up winning most of my personal battles.
Onto the subject though. There is a new guy in town. He's the son of Takeshi. I am not sure how this eight foot monster came from his four foot father. Either way, I met Keisuke the other day. He was kissing Yuuka though I'm pretty sure she had just met him. He seems to follow her around quite a bit. He's been okay to me. I mean he has not yelled at me or treated me like some of the other Kaguya.
Watching him though makes it obvious how the clan works. It is like trying to establish dominance over animals. Most of the Kaguya refuse him and then they have a verbal stand off. If that does not solve it, it becomes a physical stand off. It is because of the pride as a Kaguya. We naturally do not believe in being lead, unless they are a lot stronger than us.
I have seen the guy fight once. He is able to manipulate bones just like Yuuka. I have no idea how he gained this ability, but he has it. I am pretty sure I have yet to see his true power. This is just the tip of the iceberg. On a side note, he seems to like water clones though he does not appear to be able to make water from nothing.
I had to get out of the house. My uncle was drunk again and I really did not feel like fighting. He always gets drunk and then becomes so hostile. I decided to go for a walk across the lake. I like to at least be productive. I can practice my chakra control while thinking over situations in my head. Not this day though. Oh no, not in my own village.
As I walked back towards shore a girl decided to attack me and accused me of theft. I knew she would find me but how did a kunoichi from Konohagakure get into Kirigakure. She was the Uchiha girl that had burned me in our first fight. I beat her in our second fight and took her forehead protector. Well, she came looking for it. Our record was tied and she made it known it was time to see who was going to win the tie breaker.
She attacked first. Her physical assault was no match for me. I proceeded to beat her until she was knocked out. I am not sure if I wanted to kill her. Two shinobi from another land intervened and rescued her before I could decide. Simply amazing. I am attacked in my own village by an enemy and two outsiders come to her rescue. Is there no justice in this world?
Despite not wanting to fight, it did seem relieve my stress. I'll probably camp out tonight. Doubt it would be safe to go home. If they invaded my village, they could get into my uncle's hut. He might help them out. Bastard. Guess I'll have to remain on guard all the time.
So sensei a while back Keisuke announced that he was dating Sensei. He did so at Takeshi's home then vanished. I followed suit and vanished soon after. Then a couple of times I visited her home to find him there. It was not a huge shock. He never seemed to stick around too often.
Then came a night when Yuuka invited me over for dinner. Keisuke was there as well. The food smelled great. I was really hungry until Yuuka sat down and said she needed to talk. She then let me know she was pregnant and that there was a bone barrier protecting the baby. Keisuke then suggested I should feel lucky cause without it he would insist she stop teaching me. For the record if it would harm sensei, I would insist she post pone training me. I want what is best for her.
I felt sick to my stomach. It is not that I dislike Keisuke or that he has really wronged me. It is just like every single time we talk, he feels the need to remind everyone he can destroy nations in a single motion of his blade and that everyone should always remember it. It's like I win a spar and instead of being proud of myself, he has to rain on the parade by reminding me about his power level. His suggestion that he would not allow Yuuka to train me seemed to be in the similar spirit of reinforcing that he is in charge. Now does he do this because he is worried some day someone will surpass him, or is it simply how he is? If he is to remain with sensei, I wish he could almost be more like her. She is the closest thing I have to family.
As for Yuuka, I excused myself and just kind of left quickly. I have no idea what it means. She's going to have a baby and I dont know how things will change. Will I go back to being the stray? Does that make me like an older brother? Where does it sit with Keisuke? Does it make me a bodyguard? I know Sensei was unsure what to think.
She came out and found me later. She even brought some food. She told me she would have to have a talk with Keisuke about things but she assured me that I still had a place there and that things would not change. She has been pushing for me to move in with her, but really I do not want to come between her and Keisuke. I guess I enjoy missions a lot. There are less questions and everything seems better.
Sunagakure was chosen for the site of the first Chuunin Exams. A land of desert. Unfortunately the land does not support my ninjutsu style. Although I am sure my Taijutsu alone is enough for me to pass the exam, I see possible issues with defending against Genjutsu. Needless to say that I will feel better prepared for the next exam. Tsun is in the exam. I wonder how she will do.
I have been working on my ranged taijutsu skills. I can spit bone needles from my mouth and bone bullets from my finger tips. Both are pretty good against a single foe. I need to work on multiple foes. My defenses could also use some work. I am fast but not all things can be defended with speed. I need to work on different ways to block using my bones.
Among other things that are on my list to think about are water defenses. I would not mind learning to create water so then I could go into placed like Suna and use it without having to worry about a source. Water clones would be helpful as well. Then there is the subject of stealth. I normally run in screaming and drawing attention. I destroy stuff and make loud noises doing it. I really need to learn more stealth. Not just hiding but moving while doing such. My goals are there. Now I need to make sure I focus enough to achieve them.
Sensei, myself and Keisuke were summoned to some house in Suna. There was an elder from Kiri there with a mission for us. The mission was simple. Use some ninja-tech compass to locate a girl. Retrieve her and bring her back to Kirigakure before the third portion of the exam ends. Though not much information was given, we accepted the mission. Also, on the use of the word retrieve, it could mean liberate from captors or act as captors. We were not sure.
After some time of using the compass we found that the girl was going to the tournament. We also located where she was staying at night. Though I ran up on the building to get a better idea of which floor she was on and Yuuka entered the building to speak with a guard, they moved the girl. We were able to quickly locate her new residence.
We have done a little bit of planning towards how to go about kidnapping the girl and my part is to figure out how to get her out of the country without drawing attention. There are really two options. Head inland towards the neutral zone and move majority of the trip by foot, or head towards the coast and take a ship directly there.
We had been aboard the smuggler's ship for a few days when Yuuka called a meeting. She revealed to us just who exactly our cargo was. She turned out to be royalty from the Land of Fire. Things were starting to make sense now. Originally the lack of information and the extremely generous price to kidnap some girl set off a few flags but no one thought we were being sent to kidnap the last heir to a royal throne. Our actions could easily be seen as a declaration of war. Now Keisuke, Yuuka and myself were all wondering just how much the village elders really knew. We had also been told to make it look like shinobi from Konoha had done the deed. Now we knew that would only buy us a little bit more time.
Yuuka and myself had noticed a tattoo on the girl's foot back when we redressed her in Suna's hidden village. I had no idea what it meant. Also when asked to check the locket, I figured it for a regular locket. Yuuka looked it over. Between the two she was able to put it together. It had been fairly obvious that something was bothering her. I think both Keisuke and myself had notched it up to her pregnancy. Neither one of us really knew a lot about things like morning sickness and other afflictions caused by pregnancy. So it seems to make sense that we thought her lack of ease with the situation could have been in part due to the child in her stomach.
Now though we were stuck with a decision. How do we proceed? I suggested that we hide the girl in another land and send one member on to the village to let them know what we had. If we were able to track her, we had to think they could as well. Also if she was found elsewhere there was a chance that Kirigakure would not take the blame. Unfortunately Keisuke decided to take charge. I understand why, but doubt it was the best decision. He decided that we would continue on to Kiri where we would have a numerical advantage. Then we hand her over to the elders and they can figure out what to do with her.
We knew there would be a few storms, but in an attempt to get around them the captain ran the ship into the ground a few days later. We ended up taking the cargo and making a dash for it at the first signs of clear weather. We did not have time to wait around for them to repair the ship. We were certain as soon as they could mount a chase, we would be seeing them soon.
We managed to make it back to the village. Once there we handed over our cargo to the elders. Surprisingly the one who hired us was not there. After explaining what happened and who the girl was, We recieved a pat on the back and the gold for two A rank missions. The evidence was a bit light, but a case could be made that the elder who gave us the mission might not have been from our village. There is some evidence to make the opposite case as well. Either way after the exchange of the cargo for money, we were informed that this mission never took place. We are under direct orders to never speak of it. On our official records kept under lock and key, though this one counts as a single A rank completed. So in a sense we might not be able to speak about it, but I am sure when future considerations are made, this mission will stand out.
This was all fine by me. Had this Sabaku been some normal girl, no one would ever have even cared. Our village would have happily kidnapped her and Suna probably would not have done much after the fact. Since her family comes from power and no doubt has lots of coin, all of a sudden everyone is worried. Shinobi are made to be weapons. We are paid to kill targets and even each other. Some of us move on to kill higher cost targets and some of us move on to kill higher ranked shinobi. We trade all the wrath someone can bring down on us for gold coins. It is simply a matter of how many of them you have against how many we are willing to do it for. Do not get me wrong, war sucks for the majority of people in it. Not all of them walk in and come out ahead like me. There are always those who gain from it and those who lose. I guess this allows me to enjoy war more than others in most situations.
Plus since I know what is about to happen, I can go and spend some time relaxing. I was thinking about taking a small trip to the neutral zone. Maybe get my mind back to fighting. All of this has made me reconsider what I want to do with my talents. If I worked a bit on my stealth and tracking, I could possibly become a Tracker Nin recruit. That would allow me to learn some new skills and possibly even gain better missions.
First my travels brought me to Fort Kyuusen. I had been there once before. I was sent there on a mission. Basically two overly rich men had nothing better to do than to pay for hidden villages to send out shinobi to fight each other for their entertainment. It was confirmation of something I already knew. At the end of the day we were merely pieces placed on a board. If we made it to the end of the game we were simply brought back for another game. Those who did not make it were forgotten. If you did really well you were upgraded to a different piece. There was a little more importance placed on you but not much. You were slightly less expendable than the game before. Eventually if you made your way to the top of the ladder, you were the least expendable piece still played in the game.
On that mission, I was unable to spend a lot of time in the Fort. This time around I spent two days. On my way to Fuuma Alley, my second destination of the trip, I ran across Rise. She had been promoted as the Chuunin Exams. Unfortunately this girl is a victim of fate. She attacked me on sight under the assumption that I was in town to foil her mission. After destroying her in the fight she picked, I let her know that she was in the wrong. I also let her know I was unsure exactly what the point of the exams were if garbage like her managed to pass. I then continue on my way. Unlike the pieces on the board, she has been allowed to live despite all of her failures in battle. I wonder if she is content with the shinobi system as it is.
On the outskirts of the Fuuma Alley is an abandoned temple. Many shinobi use it as a place to stay when in the area. Sometimes you bump into others there. This place was the first time I had won an actual battle against someone who had beaten me. It was my first taste of vengeance. A week after that battle, I unlocked my Shikot. The temple will always hold a place with me. It felt like my start in this life. Unfortunately I ran into another that I had met before. The Inuzuka boy I had fought and beaten on several occassions. I was not shocked that he asked not to fight me. Unlike most of the ladies in my life he decided to use words over his fists. He is the first Konoha shinobi I have had history with that did not seem to want to settle the score. After Taiki went on his way, I spent the night in the temple and went home in the morning.
Back home things seemed the same. Keisuke as usual was no where to be found. In general I wonder if I would know the guy if it were not for Yuuka. I get that he is the son of Takeshi, but for him to just show up and be made clan head seems a bit off. It would have been easier if he seemed to deal with clan issues. I guess in a sense I am jealous. You would think as clan lead he would be able to make time for those coming up in the clan. Instead the only time I have had with the guy is when Yuuka is present.
My uncle still sucks. I do not even spend time at home. I'm considering building my own hut. Then I do not have to hold back when he gets drunk. Not that he's better when sober, but he seems less chaotic. I know Yuuka had offered to let me live with her, but I just cannot do that. It would be odd. I think in general my goal is to get an upped pay grade and move out. That or slaughter my uncle. For now he's in good standing with the village. I doubt that would help my cause. If the day ever comes though that he falls from grace, I'm going to be the first one to take a shot at him.
I am starting to learn that in this thing called life, I've only got a few friends. These days its looking more like they are me, myself and I. Then again thats all there seemed to be from the start. I guess I'll see as this board game goes on. I also think I'm alright with the shinobi way. We cannot all buck the system.
The mission was simple. Guard a resort from attacks. It was a resort on an outskirt island. There were watch towers and bombs placed in the water. It looked more like a fortified prison camp without prisoners. There were a couple of us selected. Aoitsuki, Kagami and myself. I do not think anyone was told who the resident at this resort was, but I knew. There was only one person being brought in that people would want at. I am not sure if the bombs in the water were to keep her in or others out. Probably the latter.
When the attack finally came, we were attacked by a very light force. It looked like they sent a single Jounin with a group of Genin. We were able to do some hurt to the three. In fact they were all badly wounded by the time the Akimichi called for everyone to fall back. He then covered their retreat with another of his size jutsu. We had thought we were winning the battle and were about to converge on the large man when he proved he could have come alone and things likely would not have been different.
The battle itself felt like kind of a sham. I did not even get to go all out. I fired off a couple of bone projectiles and then it ended. They had come with the intention of distracting us and that they did. I wanted to continue the fight and prove myself against the Jounin despite knowing I would lose. It just seemed like it would have been something worth while. Instead I called the retreat. I am surprised Aoitsuki listened to me. Kagami decided to run off after kidnapping one of the Konoha shinobi. I am not sure what she plans to do with him, nor would I trade places with him under any circumstances. Not sure what the Touketsu clan does to their prisoners.

Thoughts on The Shinobi Lands
Iwagakure
I have never met anyone from this land though I hear they are very disciplined and well trained. One would expect that out of any of the Five Great Shinobi Villages. What makes this village different? An affinity for earth style ninjutsu? Hopefully one day I will find out what separates this village from the others.
Kirigakure
Home. To everyone else we are simply an aggressive nation. Chances are they might be right. At least we are good at what we do. We have remained true to the ways of the shinobi. Our ninja are at home among the beasts of the swamps because we do not pretend to be something other than beasts.
All is not chaos and death as it might seem though. Even among us there are places for things like friendship and loyalty. We just do not place them in every single person around us or hold
them as high as other ideals.
Konohagakure
This nation has managed to separate itself from some of the beliefs of the shinobi world. They seem to have adopted new beliefs to make up for the ones they have gotten away from. I understand how sheer numbers in a battle can be an advantage, but is mass quanity really better than quality? Does believing the person next to you has your back really make you fight harder? Can a ninja that has never really felt on the verge of death fight with everything they have?
In my only experience with the leaf, the answer to those questions seems to be a yes. In the same battle though I did watch a single mist chuunin out perform a leaf chuunin and a couple of genin. I guess I am still undecided. Only the future will really answer these questions. It would seem for now there will be a lot of future conflict with the leaf.
Kumogakure
Supposedly they are as good with a blade as those from Kirigakure. The fact people compare them to the shinobi of our land only makes them seem like they are second rate. As far as other weapons, they probably have us. Like the other villages they are said to have disciplined shinobi.
I did have a mission where I crossed a monk from here. We attacked their convoy. He was well versed in water style jutsu. While he fought a chuunin and a genin from our country, I was able to steal one of his two medical wagons.
Sunagakure
-The sand seems to contain a lot of secrets about its land. Rumors state that they are adept with puppets. The fact that they are known for them while they are unheard of in other villages confuses me. Are they really that useful, or maybe the sand makes them useful…
Also to be known as trackers in a land that seems to be nothing more than a wasteland. I believe that has to take some form of skill or discipline. I wonder what their shinobi are really like? Does the terrain really make them different?
-Though I have found little information on the puppets in my two weeks here, I have found that this land is barely habitable by normal people. These people seem to have adapted to this place that seems compareable only to hell.
The sun heats everything up like a frying pan. Unless there is a cave or a building, you bake the entire day. That is unless there is a sand storm. Then things seem a little better, except that you get sand in your eyes and your mouth.
I see why no one invades this land. No one wants it. It seems like the perfect defense if Sunagakure ever wished to start a war. Any attack would require forces capable of handling the terrain.
Lesser Villages
For the most part, I wonder why lesser villages exist. Are they villages trying to gain power and become a great shinobi nation? Why have they not just joined with the larger villages? Are their personal beliefs that different from the majority of other villages? Do they even get missions?
I have only met one man from a lesser village. He seemed to be a master of the water style. He took out a contract with our village. I wonder why he is not working for his own village, or is he?
