In the Bamboo Forest

Age : 31 Posts : 1036

Keikoma sighed a she entered the village and with a small decent into the bamboo forest he performed a single hand sign, causing his large bird to disperse on a cloud of smoke as his body felt lightly on the soft grass before the bamboo trees. As he walked through the thick dense forest of bamboos he would see the large pandas the forest was known for. Of course the young boy remained calmed as he reached the gates to the village. Seeing as the young boy was simply coming to this village to work on his skills and learn new things to better himself. He had to only show his information papers informating the grass village shinobi that he indeed had arrived from the rock village.

"Hello good friends. Hhmmm!" The young Haretsu member said saluting the group of shinobi standing before him. With that said the boy took out his papers from the pouch underneath his robe around his waist.

"I am Haretsu, Keikoma, of the village hidden in the rocks. Simply here for the sheer pleasure of training with your ninja. Hopefully getting something interesting to my arsenal of art Hhmmm!" The young Haretsu clansmen said to one of the shinobi that approached him.

[OOC: sorry for the delay on a Kusagakure-nin meeting you. I will be one for this purpose ... again sorry for the delay. Link to previous topic in]

After Renjiro left the group by the gates of Kusagakure on the trail of a fluctuation chakra signature he was thinking to himself why was today the day of unscheduled visitors to the village. As he dashed towards the now dim and untraceable (to Renjiro) chakra signature. A few moments passed and Renjiro landed almost silently on the ground where he delivered he sensed the chakra signature before it went out/wasn't traceable to him.

He turned looked around and examined every detail before seeing a trail of footprints to his left which went through a bush. Renjiro dashed in that direction which lead back to the gates. Renjiro noticed a pile of weapons on the floor and thought to himself 'Hmn must of been Mannox being disarmed before he was took into the village'. He hid behind a tree just outside the gates and saw a smallish male with some sort of headband inside the gate talking to the guards. Now that Renjiro was close he could once again sense the persons chakra but the males chakra signature was low due to the long and stamina draining travel.

Renjiro revealed himself after he draw a kunai and concealed it behind his back. "Hello mister ... Can I ask what your business is in the land of grass and if you plan on heading into the village hidden in the grass i must ask you if you plan on presenting papers. I mean you no harm but watch your movements and how you respond because if you try and kill me ... I will kill you first." he smiled and winked when he finished to dissolve the tension of the situation.

The young boy would patiently wait for the guard to finish. Of course the young genin didn't like the tone in which he was welcomed in the spot. But judging from the looks of it, the other ninja clearly was older and most likely skilled in combat than Keikoma is. Either way the young boy would not let anyone make him look like a fool. "Perhaps you didn't heard me young grass ninja. I am from the land of rocks, coming here not only to train. But to get to know more of you guys, make more of a relationship with you guys Hmmm!." The young genin said as he fully stretched his right hand and handed the papers to the guard before him. Revealing a special clan characteristic of his as he handed the papers.

"And, just maybe find someone I have been searching for sometime now my friend. I can't assure you his name but, he is certainly a missing ninja who not long ago tried to sneak into our village without permission. We believe he might be around here. Since of course is the closest place to travel from the Rock village." The young Haretsu clansmen said as he looked at the guard waiting for a response.

Renjiro looked at the young male after reading the documents he was given. "Hmn ... Iwa-nin ... Clay ninjutsu I take it by your hands" he laughs "Well i'm sorry for my rudeness ... We have had a few foreign ninja arrive in the past few days and its a little unnerving if i'm honest. They've all been processed and interrogated but that's because their Nukenin. Maybe your village has heard of them? Mannox Nara and Arisium Kaguya. WOW moving out of line here ... as a procedure our village has in place you must fill in this document and produce a finger print using your own blood as ink. We also need a few drops of blood into this vile the blood will be used for identify verification with your village". He smiled handing the document scroll and small glass vile over to him.

Spoiler:

He would wait for the genin to finish reading, signing, putting a thumbprint on the scroll. When the genin would be finished with providing a blood sample Renjiro would take both off him and would then progress with saying "I'm sorry about the wording of the document however its just a procedure. I will also forcefully suggest you stay with me for the next day. The villagers aren't so pleased with iwa-nin since the last war but i'm sure you can deal with them. It's just a bit of friendly banter and the occasional frying pan" he winks sinking down to his ear level and began whispering "You look strong enough to deal with that kinda stuff. However I will warn you ... touch any Kusagakure ninja and you'll have me to deal with ... nuke-nin visitors may have some rights here however in my eyes they shouldn't ... if you get my drift".

He stood up and turned to the guards at the gates and gave them a thumbs up signalling them to stand down. He would then turn back to Keikoma handing him back his documents and then pulling out a scroll himself signing it and handing it to Keitoma. "This is your temporary visa. It lasts for two weeks ... You may at any time within those two weeks to apply for renewal or apply for permanent residence. However if you do not leave two weeks, if you haven't applied for an extension or anything else, from now you will be forced out of the village. Now before we set off ... care to declare any weapons or particular motives you have?"

"Hmn ... Iwa-nin ... Clay ninjutsu I take it by your hands...Well i'm sorry for my rudeness ... We have had a few foreign ninja arrive in the past few days and its a little unnerving if i'm honest. They've all been processed and interrogated but that's because their Nukenin. Maybe your village has heard of them? Mannox Nara and Arisium Kaguya. WOW moving out of line here ... as a procedure our village has in place you must fill in this document and produce a finger print using your own blood as ink. We also need a few drops of blood into this vile the blood will be used for identify verification with your village" After finishing with the information he had on the criminal he turned his attention to the scroll and vile that was being handed to him by the ninja.

The young Iwa ninja would hear of the two shinobi that had just entered the village. Not exactly knowing them but definitely curious to see them and find out if the person he is looking for had managed to escape to this village. If he did, and according to plan everything would go as expected and the shinobi would be taken back to Iwa for interrogation or even death if necessary.

"We didn't officially introduced ourselves when we met. I clearly saw him sneak into the village so a proceeded with the attack. I would of caught him if I was by myself, but too much ninja managed to appear on the occasion. And the foolish ninja managed to escape between all the rackets of the villagers and the ninjas." The young Haretsu explained to the Kusa ninja. "But one thing that I managed to catch in my time alone with him was a little bit of his looks....he was certainly young....maybe around his 16 or 17s years of age. The missing ninja was also seen in dark clothing."

The young Haretsu would look at the ninja before him and then back at the paper he had in hand at the moment. "Renjiro Senju?...." he thought to himself. He didn't exactly knew that there were any Senju in the village hidden in the grass. Trying to get back to the point, soon after reading everything the young boy bit his thumb, allowing a drop of blood flow out into the small vile that was handed to him at the start of the conversation. He didn't really know whether this whole process was necessary or not but he didn't really paid no mind to the process needed to enter the village.

"Interrogation, imprisonment, and surveillance? Ya ain't kidding with your security Hmmm!" Keikoma said as he continued to hear the young Senju before him. The young Haretsu then opened the scroll and marked his name in it with his own blood and then handed both objects back to him.

Renjiro took the scroll and vile off him. He pocketed the scroll and placed the vile of blood within his jacket. "Yeah i know ... We're just covering our own ... i'm sure your village has something similar in place" he looked up and down the young ninja ... "So where do i take you first ... I'm thinking the market for food. I'm sure you're hungry after this journey. I admire your mission as a diplomat for your village ... however i will escort you during your time here to ensure you don't break any of our laws etc ... I understand your motive ... I'd be doing the same if i was in your situation".

He takes out a piece of scroll and scribbles on it notes about the situation he was in and the description of the person Keikoma described then pocketed it in a different pocket in his jacket. 'Hmn i wonder if its Mannox he is talking about ... Well ... if it turns out to be Mannox or Tony it could turn out messy ... ' he turns and looks at Keikoma again 'I'll need this guys help if i need to bring in these bandits ... maybe replenishing his reserves would be the best idea' he paused his thoughts and said "Before we set off to the market place is there anything you'd like to do before you set out to gather information?".

Renjiro's motives for going to the market for food was simple in motive however upon reflection on the situation that may pursue it turned out to be a brilliant idea. "Hmn Keikoma ... I don't know if you've sorted accommodation here yet ahead of time but call my house home for the next few days if you wish". Renjiro decided to up his game in trust with this guy ... Renjiro totally understood his motive and this meant Renjiro had instantly bonded with him. However Renjiro still had to confirm Keikoma's accusations and see if the nukenin in the village were the people he was after.

From here on out Renjiro had to plan and be extremely careful of his actions. This is mainly because Mannox and Tony were technically temporary Kusa nin and as such Renjiro should protect them with his life ... Renjiro was being torn both ways ... his choice would be decided on the battle field when he needed to ... if only his life was simpler ...

"So where do i take you first ... I'm thinking the market for food. I'm sure you're hungry after this journey. I admire your mission as a diplomat for your village ... however i will escort you during your time here to ensure you don't break any of our laws etc ... I understand your motive ... I'd be doing the same if i was in your situation". The Senju said.

"I will agree with you. This would be the first time I actually come here on my own and wouldn't really like to cause something I don't mean to start. And thank you, I hope we can find the person I'm looking for in this village.I kind of have a feeling that one of these two Nuke-nin might be our guy." Keikoma said to the Senju as they began to walk towards the inside the village.

"And, I know I'm not supposed to take on any breaks while I'm here. But I can't really do nothing when I'm on an empty stomach am I right Hhmm?" The young genin chuckled as he finished his last words. Just maybe if he wasn't really tired at all, he would begin his search. But then again a walk through the village just might be the thing to find this criminal when he least expect it. "Also, I appreciate the help you're giving me. But when it comes down to it, I want to take him into custody myself.I want to give him something that will BLOW his mind Hmmm!" The genin said to Renjiro as they walked.

The boy knew he wasn't gonna be able to do nothing at the moment. Knowing that the grass village had allowed them in as visitors they would most likely ruin the capturing of the criminal in their own land. So persuading higher rank ninjas of the wrong doings of this criminal are true would of course be harder than what it seems.
