Opposite Sides of the Spectrum: The Meeting of Tennuyan and Ansoni

Age : 28 Posts : 701

Ansoni arrived in the Wind Country after a long, agonizing trek from Snow Country, where he had been led on his father's trail. He's had yet to catch the fucker, but he plans to sooner or later. However his evidence now took him to Wind Country, home of the once Majestic Sunagakure, which was ravaged by the war, but has supposedly returned to it's former glory, though it had been recently attacked by a random Criminal named Tennuyan.

He wanted to meet someone, someone new. And for some strange reason, he felt today that he would. Being so, he took to the coast, the northeastern coast. He needed some warm weather, because he was still chilly and shaking from the cold weather in the north. He knew the coast down there was a big commercial spot for Konoha and Suna, so he hoped to meet some new people, most likely fishermen, but he hoped there'd a few shinobi there. Who knew?

Upon arrival a few hours later, he saw the docks, with dozens upon dozens of ships in the ports, getting loaded and unloaded, with all sorts of goods from Konoha, and other countries. Some of them he hadn't seen before. He could tell some of them were foods, crops and spices because of the decadent aromas they gave off. He breathed them in for a long while, but he decided to get a closer look.

He walked up one of the docks, where he saw a boy with a headband standing at the end, helping load and unload, and he began to turn around. In a frantic mess, Ansoni jumped in the water, and swam down as far he could before knowing he'd run out of breath before returning up. He swam a bit to the left, and saw the foundation for another dock, which he figured was the south, based on the Sun's positioning. After returning to the surface, he vaulted himself up with all his might, an grabbed onto the edge of the wooden dock, and lifted himself over.

He looked to the right, and saw the boy still doing his job. He didn't look more than 12 or so, so he had to be a genin, which wouldn't be a challenge to him. But he knew younger children were VERY impulsive. So, he took off his footwear and dipped his feet in and out of the water, swinging his legs back and forth and began to think.

Damn you, dad. It's your fault I'm like this today...

Tennuyan approached the docks on Drakhan's back. Drakhan ran for the water as Ailanna sailed overhead. Scampers was sitting on tenn's shoulder but jumped onto drakhan as Tenn bailed. Drakhan jumped right into the water near the docks to cool himself off and to get something to drink. Scampers held onto Drakhan tightly and enjoyed the dip in the water. Ailanna sailed down and landed on Tenn's shoulder and he chuckled.

He walked onto the docks and noticed so many people staring at Drakhan. "What? A bison can't cool off in the desert without people staring at it?" He noticed the kid from a village staring at him in particular. The kid started to approach Tenn and Tenn spoke to the boy, "Don't bother unless you want today to be your last." The kid turned around and walked away. Scampers and Drakhan came out of the water and tenn patted them both as they shook themselves dry.

As Ansoni kept thinking dark thoughts, and thought ill of his father, he just remained there, at the edge of the farthest south dock, about 300 feet from where he had to dive in, to avoid being seen by one of those village ninja. He wiped the forming tears from his eyes, and looked up. And when he did, he probably could not have seen anything stranger. He saw a guy, abou his age, perhaps a tad older, arriving at the docks with a monkey on his shoulder, a bird of some sort flying overhead, and..... a bison? I mean.... I understand the bird and MAYBE the monkey, but come on.... a FUCKING BISON?

Ansoni thought he was going insane, that he had driven himself mad. But he didn't, for the bison was no illusion. This boy was worth talking to. So, Ansoni took the direct approach, which was pretty unusual for him.

He began to walk toward the boy, when the village boy, who he thinks was from Kiri, intercepted him. ((In indigo is NPCs speaking.)) "You shouldn't be here. This is property of the three villages of---" He was cut off. Ansoni had simply just stabbed him in the stomach, and had frozen his body over completely within a matter of seconds.

Ansoni quickly disposed of the body by hiding it within a large shipping crate, with what must have been hundreds upon hundreds of pounds of cargo, which was most likely to be shipped to Water Country and the surrounding islands. He snickered as he continued on.

He approached the guy, who had hi back turned to him, and spoke. "Hello. I'm Ansoni of the Yuki Clan. I realize you're a nukenin, for you have no headband, such as myself. And you are?" Ansoni was never really good at introductions.

Tennuyan watched as this man came up and just assassinated this ninja in broad daylight. 'Weak.' Was all Tennuyan could think. Then he dropped the body within a crate. 'Unique.' Tennuyan thought. Tennuyan looked to the man intently as he spoke. He mentioned his name and his clan, and then called Tennuyan a nukenin. Was it that obvious? And then he asked Tennuyan who he was.

Tenn looked to the man, "Tennuyan of the Haretsu. Risky work you just did there, in broad daylight." He patted Drakhan as he moved closer to Tenn. Ailanna and Scampers sat idly on Tenn's shoulder. He eyed this man for a bit then shrugged it off. 'Let's wait and see if he pursues the conversation.'

He stood and looked at the guy in.... not confusion, but more so with an inquisitive look. The man's emotions and thoughts weren't easy to pick up on, but he could tell the man wasn't impressed with his simple disposal of the little boy; who was bound to start trouble eventually. But, what he didn't understand is how the guy didn't get some sort of sick pleasure in watching the boy's body freeze to death. Ansoni wasn't a cold-blooded killer, but even HE enjoyed that.

Regardless, he got a reply. "Tennuyan of the Haretsu. Risky work you just did there, in broad daylight." And indeed it was. But Ansoni was just THAT Boss. He cold easily tell the man wasn't interested in him, and he seemed rather cold-hearted. Ansoni gave him a dirty look, and turned to walk away.

However, after a few seconds, he had this nagging urge to go back, for whatever reason. He turned back around, demanding this guy's satisfaction. But now, he had something in his mind that would surely catch his attention, and judging by what he already knew of the man's personality, he knew this offer could not and WOULD NOT be refused.

He approached the man once more, who was now sitting on the dock, with his bird and monkey on either shoulder, with his bison to his right, and the bison was being pet, and seemed to be enjoying it. So his name's Tennuyan... Yes, the name does ring a bell... OH YEAH, he's the one who destroyed one of Konoha's Gates... He's pretty badass.

He kept walking towards him. He knew his idea was fool-proof. Even if it were actually two fools doing it, it'd still turn out successful. He spoke when he was about seven feet behind Tennuyan, well out of swinging distance. "So, Tennuyan-Kun, how's about we make them boats go boom, hmm?" A sadistic grin grew on Ansoni's face. This would be the first act of pure evil in his life, but he had a strong feeling it wouldn't be his last.

(OOC: BTW, Kun is a Japanese phrase used by a superior to someone below them, so Ansoni was speaking somewhat condescendingly to Tenn.)

Tennuyan peaked up the when the man came back. 'Blow up a boat eh?' He looked around for a ship that seemed to be in the bay that was carrying a good number of explosives to make it that much better. "Can you run?" He smirked and hopped on Drakhan's back. He formed clay birds and had them divebomb a ship that looked to be carrying explosives. As soon as he heard them hit the deck, he activated them causing the ship to explode and all it's contents with it. He spun heels on Drakhan and smacked his back as Drakhan ran. He got a decent distance from the harbor and jumped off Drakhan. He looked at him and pet him as Ailanna was flying behind them.

He turned around and waited for the guy to approach in order to say, "Like that?" However, if the man didn't approach he would get back on Drakhan and leave back for Fire Country. Back to his home, back in search of Rysa. He would yell back to the docks before he left, that they should remember the name of the "Houou Ryuu" and "The Puppet Master." Though he didn't use puppets to blow up the boat, he wanted his name of what he does best, to be remembered, by everyone.

Ansoni admired the intrigue in Tennuyan's voice when he said 'blow up a boat, eh?'. Immediately afterward, he asked Ansoni if he could run, Of course I can run, why would you--- his thoughts were cut off. Tennuyan had summoned a flock of clay birds, and commanded them to divebomb the ship. Ansoni soon heard a CLUNK , Tennuyan snapped his fingers, and they exploded.

The ship, which apparently was already holding explosives, exploded into thousands upon thousands of pieces of a burning mess. Shrapnel from the ship and its other cargo flew out in all sorts of different directions, and struck a couple crew members of other ships. What was left of the original ship was sitting in a burning mass about 200 feet off shore.

Ansoni looked to Tennuyan in shock. Ansoni had been too pre-occupied in watching the ship burn to run. Tennuyan was riding his bison, but stopped about 20 feet behind Ansoni. "Yea, like that..." Ansoni walked toward Tennuyan, and spoke again. "Now, I say we kill the loading crew, board the ships, kill THEM, loot the ship, and blow it up... much like you did there."

Ansoni couldn't believe it himself, he was turning into what everyone believed he was in the first place: A Criminal. And the fact of the matter was, Ansoni couldn't have liked the life any more.

Tennuyan laughed as the man ran up. "Why blow it up? if we commandeer one, We can have our own boat. And you can join the Houou Ryuu. A Nukenin Group destined to one day match the Shantakai. Right now I am the leader and only member. Perhaps you would like to be the second? However, I must take off back to Fire Country for some time. Perhaps we can steal a ship, and sail down there. You are free to join me if you wish. But without you, I'm going by land."

Tennuyan hopped onto Drakhan and called for Ailanna and Scampers. "You going to help or not?" He smirked. He figured this man would enjoy the group and would surely join. If not, he would at least follow him to fire country. Tenn didn't care which but he knew he wouldn't have to travel alone again.

A wide grin grew across Ansoni's face when he heard Tennuyan's proposition. He looked to the sky and thought about it for a moment. But when he got his answer, he realized that it shouldn't have required any thought whatsoever anyway. He then thought some more about Tenn's logic. Hmmm.... good point... why would we blow them all up if we could steal them? It'd be a very useful travel tool, and if this nukenin group of his succeeds, it'd also be a very useful and fruitful weapon. Imagine, a boat with scores of armed civilians and shinobi, with cannons, explosives, and other firing mechanisms.... it'd be an awesome sight.

"Well, waddya waiting for? LET'S TAKE US A MOTHER FUCKING SHIP!" Ansoni walked over to the dock, and stood in front of the ship, with most of the crew standing on the drawbridge-type thing, looking at him in a most peculiar way, as if to say, 'What the hell is he doing here, and what the fuck does he want?' Clearly, it wasn't a very friendly look. Ansoni took a step back, and then another, until he was about twenty feet or so from the ship. He then charged the ship at his fastest, with his sword out of it's sheath and ready to freeze some bitches.

One after another, they were frozen, cut down, or impaled on something. Only about a third of the crew remained, and Ansoni only spared them to help Tenn and himself if they needed anything. If Tenn wanted them dead, he'd do it himself. "Well, waddya waiting for man?!?!? Let's get movin'!"

Ansoni looked to the crew members, as they cowered in fear of him. They saw their shipmates and friends laying in a case of thick, freezing ice, motionless. Ansoni looked at them himself and realized what a superb job he did. Figured it would've required more effort than THAT. Oh well, we got a ship, and that's all that counts.

Ansoni now only had one more problem: The other three or four remaining ships, and would they attack? Or anything like that? "Tennuyan! Hurry up! I need you and your birds!"

Tennuyan ran onto the boat on the back of Drakhan, "Who's the captain of this ship?" A few wavering men pointed to a larger man wearing a fancy hat. Tennuyan slapped Drakhan and he charged to other men knocking them into the water. He jumped off Drakhan's back and form his hand signals and exhaled a fireball, "Unless you wanna die, I suggest you teach me how to operate this boat." He shot the fireball at a ship that had a few men running off with swords. "Ansoni, grab the plank. We're moving." Tennuyan created some birds and had them dive bomb the other ships and explode causing many casualties and many explosions and loss of boats.

They ran to the bridge and the captain showed Tennuyan how to drive the boat. Tennuyan grabbed the captain and threw him over the side of the boat, and set sail for Fire Country. He was headed to find Rysa, and now the Houou Ryuu had a boat. All they needed was a flag to wave attached to the crow's nest.

[Topic End, travel for 12 hours to fire country.]
