A meeting of Kiri Genin

Posts : 162

It was a typical Kirigakure day; rain, cold and a slight fog around the village. Renjiro was perched above an old abandoned house in the damaged part of Kirigakure which still to this day been restored from the great Bijuu attack. The previous evening Renjiro had made sure to send scrolls to all the households that contained Kirigakure genin in them and informed them of this meeting. The scroll had basic information on it with Renjiros own personal signature and his own Senju seal on the join of the closed scroll to make sure its authenticity was 100% verifiable.

With the chuunin exams looming, Renjiro believed it was time to get some serious training and socialising done so that when the time for the unique Kirigakure chuunin exams take place our lives would have some meaning even if the majority of the genin lost their lives.

Renjiro was kneeling at the top of the building looking at the other buildings whilst his medium length brown hair was soaking wet and stuck to his face because of the rain.

Nanaya leaped from roof to roof top with moderate speed, he wasn't in to much of a hurry, while his black medium long hair was getting soaked, it appeared he didn't really mind the rain at all, while he was carrying his umbrella. Sometime during late night or the night before, his sister gave him an invitation that was meant from him when he had just gotten home from training, it was an invitation to meet up with some of the other Kiri Genin excluding himself, and the scroll was signed by someone with the name of Renjiro, whom he didn’t know. It was mostly a means for everyone of the Genin’s to meet in order for them to see the other in order for them to see the different kinds of people that could be in their cell, and probably get ready for the Chuunin exams or some type of training exercise.

He decided to take a quick route to get to the old destroyed part of Kirigakure, he wasn’t that far away from the desired location meeting point, since he and his sister lived not to far away from this location from his perception, only seven blocks away, wasn’t that far to him.

His eye’s looked like that of the Hyuga’s eye’s and he looked up ahead to see someone perched upon top of a roof that had medium length brown hair, who was probably the person named Renjiro, or maybe it was some other Genin waiting for everyone else to appear. Nanaya stopped a few feet away from him, and knelt down on another ledge, giving a slight wave, but displayed little to no emotions, and showed the scroll to him as he sat down.

Renjiro saw the male approach from some distance away. His distance and height allowed his to see far and wide, thus allowing him to track the male up until he decided to perch a few feet away. Renjiro didn't respond as his patience had been pushed below his limits due to the fact that he had been there for 4 hours since he sent the scrolls out.

His observations of the male was that his eyes was totally grey and it made him first think of the hyuuga clan for an instant before noticing that the males eyes was grey and not pure white. The males hair was black and of a medium length and was holding an umbrella, but dispite this the males expressions was hidden and stern.

Renjiros responce to the males arrival was to keep his appearance and angre at bay. His only and single responce was to guesture him to come to closer to him and say "Well ... Nanaya Asagami ... come closer we genin have things to discuss"

"Well ... Nanaya Asagami ... come closer we genin have things to discuss" the male said giving him a gesture to come closer.

Nanaya’s eye widened a little bit when the person knew his name as he stood up and slightly began observing the male a little bit more, from the males first sign and posture, he must have been waiting here for quite awhile, and Nanaya expected that there would have been more, people here by now, while slowly looking around for the presence of other people, that would probably be on their way, but he didn’t see any, they were probably just running behind schedule.

He decided to move closer and began walking over to him, Nanaya wasn’t used to introductions and talking to people he’s just met, but he knew who was.

Nanaya closed his eye’s for a few minutes and opened them again while his eye’s change from their gray color to a blue color, while his expressions completely changed and giving a somewhat gentle expression and a small smile, “ So are you Renjiro Senju? Nice to meet you…” he asked in a low tone just before stopping 4 feet away from him, making it easier for them to speak, and waited for him to respond.

- Sho Meikiri's dialogue

What a nuisance. First assigned mission on the job, was a bust. Failure to clean some shit hole of a shrine, a burnt and demolished temple to be exact. Minutes passed and the temperature was gradually becoming chilly throughout the 'Foggy Forest'. Pacing himself among the cleared, damped and muddy path of the forest, Sho placed his firm hands into his deep pockets.

"Gosh it's getting colder out here." He spoke, at the same time, he caught a glimpse of his warm breath flowing from his mouth. Taking the opportunity not to allow his body to become in a state of hypothermia, he took it among himself to quit walking and start running. Spiriting his ass off for about a good five minutes or so, Sho finally made it to the apartment facilitates.

Opening up the front entrances doors of the facilitate, he took a moment to shiver and brace the warm air supported by the building's furnace. Taking the public stairs of the cozy apartment, Sho found himself inside his comfy apartment room. There he vaulted himself, onto the fluffy cloud known as his bed. He stared up at his ceiling, reflecting about his recent unsuccessful mission. "Man, I hope I won't have to work with those dipshits again..." Sho thought to himself in frustration. At same time he would daze in and out of sleep. His eyes getting wearer and wearer by the second, he frequently yawned, as his mind slowly became jam-packed of tiredness. The room was dead quiet, the kitchen's faucet occasionally dripped of water droplets, and Sho Meikiri was sound asleep. Or was he?

"Knock Knock Knock!"

The so called slumbered boy, eyes widen as he rushed his body from the bed. "Who the hell is it!" Sho rubbed the small sleep from his eyes, at the same time walking near the banging noise on his front door. Once he placed his hands on the knob of the door, the knocking ended. Weird. Cautiously turning the cold surface of the knob, the door slowly opened.

Sho poked his head out, into the semi warmth air of the hallway. Left and then right, he looked around the hallway to find out who was the asshole knocking on his door. "Figures. I was another victim of the practical 'Ding Dong Ditch' prank. What a bunch of c-." Before Sho could get last word from his month, his attention was grasped by a scroll laying just inches apart from his feet. "Not a another one..." Sho mumbled under his breath. "If this is another mission, they can shove it up their asses. I mean I just came back from one. Can they give a man a break, for at least a day? Geez."

Rolling a sigh from his lips, Sho picked up the little scroll, and carried it back into his room. Shutting the door behind him, he pulled a chair from under his kitchen table and seated himself. Briefly looking over the scroll, Sho was intrigued that it wasn't a mission, but a gathering for all the Mist Village's genins. "Who the freak is Renjiro Senju..?" Sho pondered for a short moment. "So he wants to assemble all the genins of this village. But, da hell for?" Sho arose himself from the kitchen chair and crumbled up the scroll. He threw the piece of rice-paper into his kitchen's trash can.

"As much it pains me leaving my comfy little den, I couldn't waste an opportunity to view the future talent of this village. Since....the Chuunin Exams are coming up too." With that saying, Sho securely and left the apartment facilitates and head over where this meeting ground was being held at. In about ten minutes or so, Sho Meikiri's eye glanced upon two shinobis. Two Kiri genins to be frank. Sho looked up and viewed two young warriors suspended and kneeling upon a nearby rooftop. He came up with the conclusion, that maybe this was the designated spot from this unknown gathering.

Within brief short moment, Sho entered the building facilities. He manged to scramble himself inside the particular building and made his way onto the apartment's roof. Hands deep in his pockets, he spotted the same two genins and walked a few feets towards them.

"Okay, I'm here. So what's the 411, hm?" He leaned his backside onto a nearby rooftop railing, and continued to speak among the group of posers. "And who in the hell is this Renjiro Senju?" Crazy ol' Sho Meikiri, with his main objective always trying to get underneath others skin.

Renjiro was expecting the apprehension shown towards him by the male however his patience wasnt for pushing. A few moments after the male walked over to him Renjiro noticed the change in the boys eyes; at this Renjiros eyebrows raised up and he had an instant flash back of him reading the ninja reports of all of the genins in the village. When the male finally got close he noticed the personality change when the boy said “ So are you Renjiro Senju? Nice to meet you…”.

Renjiro knew this was out of character from the first time the male arrived but also knew that was a trait of this boys clan. With that he replied with a stern face "Yes i am, however i suggest your changing of personality was a bad idea. We are in Kirigakure and its a dog eat dog world. Never forget that and remember that the people on your team will leave you for dead if you fall behind. I've called everyone here for one reason only and that is to gather information before the deadly kirigakure chuunin exam".

He turned and just saw the other male turn up and speak to him. Renjiro stared straight into his eyes and said "Sho Meikiri i assume. The '411' is i want to gather information on you all before we get to the time of the chuunin exam. No more no less this was purely an information gathering task. Theres only so much you can read on a piece of parchment scroll. I hope you didn't tear up the scroll i gave you, the gold tint on the paper is worth a fair amount"

Never forget that and remember that the people on your team will leave you for dead if you fall behind. I've called everyone here for one reason only and that is to gather information before the deadly kirigakure chuunin exam". He tilted his head to the side slightly, it seemed that this person knew about his clan as well, and probably also about his history. He was about to say something when a person showed up before letting Nanaya regain control and returned to his usual expression and self and his eyes slowly turning to get a better look at the person who had just came up, and asked who was Renjiro that displayed a somewhat agitated expression.

Nanaya looked up towards his umbrella and twirled it by the handle letting some of the rain fall off of it, before putting it back up again, after he found out that the persons name was Sho Mekiri. Nanaya’s gaze slowly shifted back to Renjiro who wanted some type of information exchange.

“What do you want to know?” Nanaya asked while giving a somewhat blank expression while possibly knowing the answer.

- Sho Meikiri's dialogue
- Renjiro Senju's dialogue

Naturally cool and laid back, like most of the time, Sho carelessly listened as both of the two male shinobis spoke among the group. "Sho Meikiri i assume. The '411' is I want to gather information on you all before we get to the time of the Chuunin Exam. No more no less this was purely an information gathering task. There's only so much you can read on a piece of parchment scroll. I hope you didn't tear up the scroll i gave you, the gold tint on the paper is worth a fair amount"

Sho then remembered and thought back about him foolishly crumbling and trashing that particular scroll. He gave a shrug of the shoulders, to sum up his true feeling about the so called high profit gold tint.

"Things come and things go, what can ya do?" Sho said in retaliation to Renjiro. Slowly the minutes flew by, and Sho still was forced to listen and reply to Renjiro's personal questions about himself. Privacy, much? I think not. Sho slipped out a numerous amounts of yawns from his gaping mouth.

"Ehh....this bust down of a meeting, sure is getting lame." He keep this insult to himself, but at the same time, he readjusted his back and posture on the tree's trunk with a more comfortable fitting for his own. "Well if no one else is going to entertain me, then I guess I'll just play with these two fellas." Once again, all in in his deepest back thoughts. "Time to spice up shit around here, hm?" Sho mumbled underneath his breath, practically mute to the nearby bystanders.

"Okay then! Sooo....you wanna know stuff about me, eh? Well, where do I start off from?" He quickly thought among himself, in a more rhetorical and silliness manner, then of a serious one. "Okay lets see, I'm the king or the head dog of this dump of a village." Sho gave a blunt smirk, with a sarcastic type of expression dispensed among his face. Then quickly, he began to continue to talk and show off as an ass.

"You want shit done around here, you come to me. They don't call me the village's supplier for nothin'." Sho paused for a brief to catch his little poor breath. "But! Enough about me, what about you Mr.Woody?" Sho gave off a quick and small snarl/chuckle with an arrogant smirk behind it.

Surely, Sho Meikiri was praying to annoy both of the young males, but mostly that reject of a ninja, Renjiro Senju. Since he was responsible and he did interrupted Sho's mid-afternoon snooze for the day. And, for what? A dumb ol' meeting with a bunch of low respected genins. Overall, Sho's implosive and rude behavior was a just a joke. Mainly, he found it amusing to irritate others and getting them all worked up. He viewed this much more of a game, then of a mandatory meeting.

Renjiro sighs at the pairs remarks. As he sighed he made a flash of 3 handsigns and with that the roof instantly cracked and 4 pillars of wood grow from the cracks instantly, 2 either side of Renjiro and and one growing underneath the pair. The growth of these pillars of wood was boosted by the surface water in the area, allowing them to appear and try to wrap the pair up instantly in a spiraling fashion. Renjiro was now holding the snake handsign and observing the two of them

Kuro Koori had been watching. His element, his advantage. But he stayed away, avoiding the fight like any smart shinobi planning on entering the exams. A dog eat dog, the best way is to swoop down when all are weary from the fight, and make it into a feasting ground. Even though this wasn't the normal Kuro, he knew this was what he would need to do. Watching as what seemed to be a wood release technique, Kuro was amazed at such a power. But none the less, he watched it. His hair and clothing had been soaked. It didn't help to the point that the hair had been blocking out his sight.

Looking on, he knew there was 3 genin already there. But, Kuro was going to try his new strategy, when all were weary from the fight.

Nanaya stared at Sho for a little bit, it seemed that he has either grown rather irritated or is trying to amuse himself while being in this meeting, The village supplier, what does that mean?, Nanaya thought as he quickly turned his head to notice Renjiro making 3 hand signs, and then four pillars began to raise out of the roof. There was usually only one way for someone to gain information out of someone and that was by fighting.

Nanaya’s eye’s narrowed as two smoke balls popped out of his sleeve as he threw them at the ground and at the pillar, exploding them both as black smoke began to cover a small part of the area, helping to conceal Nanaya’s presence, as he quickly used Kawarimi no Jutsu to substitute himself. Out of the smoke came flying the invitation scroll that Renjiro gave to him. Nanaya appeared on the ledge of the building (from the spot he first sat on when he first arrived when Renjiro told Nanaya to come closer) from where he must have sat it down on the ledge. Quickly moving farther back to help gain more distance from Renjiro, and stuck his hand inside of his umbrella to pull out a kunai, and twirled his umbrella before throwing it to the side and letting it hit the ground, seeing as it will only slow him down. His eyes began to keep track of the pillars Renjiro had just formed and trying to keep track of everything around him. “ Other than that Nanaya person my names Satsuki, how do you do.” Nanaya said while his voice and manner had changed differently, his eye’s displaying a purple color and giving a slight smile.

''Boys will be boys.''

The girl said, watching them go at it. She was sitting nearby, the rain soaking her bit by bit : not that she minded. Most guys ended up looking at her with wet clothes, as they clung tightly to her and her curves. The girl was curious, yeah, having received an invite of some kind. At first, she thought it was a letter for a date : but that was shot down quick. At least she'd get to finally meet some of her caste mates. That was what was bothering her : she'd charmed civilians and miscellaneous travelers, but she never got her chance to sink her teeth in a true, genin boy. And by all that was impure, she wanted to. So she was here, and waiting for someone to pay attention to her.. 'cause this was getting boring, watching them compare sizes and claiming to the be the biggest. They were all bigots in her opinion, like anyone would ask her. She's a girl.. and girls are supposed to be weak. And certainly, they could say that, but she would prove them wrong.. eventually.

- Sho Meikiri's dialogue

( OOC: Posting Order? =P )

Oh goodness. So much shit was going on, in just the mere of minutes. That typical of a bum, Renjiro tired to attack Sho. Like for real, what the hell was his problem?

Back still laid over the tree's trunk, Sho's attention was unexpectedly yanked by the throat. His adrenaline rapidly started to ascend, as he saw the nearby roof of the old raggedy house, suddenly cracked. There were exactly four wooden pillars. All of, were busted through the gaps of the old house's roof area. Crazy thing about it, there were two sets of wooden pillar coming straight at his little behind. "Finally! Now this is some entertainment..." Sho blurted out in the opening, with a cocky manner. Now what was Sho Meikiri's plan, of evading these pillars coming directly towards him?

Simple. Sho took among himself, and simply let the pillars grasp and seized him. Some folks might say. "Why didn't he just dodge the attack?" Well, plainly putted, Sho wanted to test the strength of this Renjiro Senju. Nothing else to it. He stood there, suspended in the air by both of the wooden pillars and stared down into the eyes of his so called enemy, Renjiro.

"So what's your next move, Rennnnji?" Sho purposely exaggerated on the boy's name, trying even more to ruffle his feathers. At same time, knowing he wasn't in the position to be act like an smart-ass. Or was he?

Meanwhile as this was all going on, Sho took a glance over his shoulders. He saw the cleverness of Nanaya, escaping the assault of the second pairs of Renjiro's wooden pillar technique. "Smart move, kid." He re-announced to himself, gradually growing a concise amount of respect for this Nanaya boy. In his mind, Sho had a good idea of what jutsu, the boy used to counter Renji's pillars. Still tangled up in wood, Sho's made frequent yawns to show how he wasn't fazed or worried about getting trapped by the unusual woody technique.

Looking down towards both of the boys, he watched how Nanaya tired to converse along with the Senju. It was like, Nanaya suddenly forgot that this man attempted to capture him up with his wood...? But, all in this midst of this encounter, in came an unknown girl. A pink haired kunoichi to be more specific. Sho paid no attention to her just yet, but primarily waited if Renjiro would strike once more, or even kill him on that note.

(Hopefully, you wont have much trouble putting me in that order.)

The days in Kirigakure such as this, young Marcus tend to spend outside, somewhere beneath a large tree. He enjoyed looking at the rain and how it disturbs everything peaceful in this world, creating a chaos of some kind. Well, that was the theory which this youngster had. But, that was not important at this point actually. Anyways, while he was standing outside of his house, standing under a tree, the young man noticed a post ninja coming. Before the postman could come up to the doors, the young Hoshi came up to him, blocking the way to the door. The rain which soaked Marcus afterwards didn`t bothered him, he was interested in the message brought to him by this postman. With a calm voice the post man spoke, saying: “This is for you. I am assuming that you are Marcus Hoshi.” Without an answer, Marcus took the scroll from the post man, returning to the safety of his tree. Under it, he calmly read the message written by some Renjiro Senju.

After reading all of the things written on the scroll, the young man made a single hand seal, disappearing in a gust of wind. The only thing left behind him was the signature, given to the postman as an proof that he is Marcus Hoshi.

A few moments later, the young man known as Marcus could be seen jumping from one roof top to another. With an a little faster tempo he left towards the meeting place. There, he hopped to find out some information about what was it all about. Just in case, he came dressed in his mission clothes, which were perfectly comfortable for the young Hoshi, if he were to end up in a fight. Who knew what was it all about? Maybe this man called all of them to a meeting so he could kill off all of them. That way he would get rid of any competition for the upcoming exam, which was held here in Kirigakure no Sato. Anyways, after a few minutes, Marcus finally arrived at the place of the meeting.

He came up from behind the pinky girl, on enough height to see what was happening at the moment. He was quite surprised while looking at the situation bellow him. It seemed that this Renjiro really wanted to kill all of them. Well, that was at least what Marcus thought. But of course, his attack did not seem fatal or strong, it was more of an test or something.

“When will it be my turn?” As he spoke this words, the young boy used a calm and gentle voice, somewhat friendly. Now, he was sure that all of this is just a test, a test which he wanted to take, and maybe even pass. Calmly, with his hands in his pockets, the young man waited for an answer.

[Ok - New post order - Renjiro, Nanaya, .egor, Yuri and Marcus Hoshi ]

Renjiro was observing the group around them. Nanaya substituting, then throwing a smoke bomb and then body flickering to a 'safe' distance whilst Sho seemed to just simply get caught by his tactic and just stayed there. A girl and a boy arrived 5 minutes in-between but Renjiro keep his focuses between all 4 of them even in the smoke filled area. He was able to do this due to being able to feel their chakra emitting through the ground and Nanaya having tiny flecks of wood on his clothes.

As Sho was captured/wrapped up by Renjiro wood jutsu his automatic response was to manipulate the wood that had wrapped him instantly tighten and also forced 20x 2cm wide spikes to form from the parts of the wooden pillar that had contact with Shos' body. It had a 99% chance of killing him as he could substitute as substitution requires the user to be able to move and form a handsign.

As for Nanaya one of the wooden pillars next to him receded into the ground to allow Renjiro the reach to follow Nanaya. The wooden pillar would stretch, weave and home in on Nanaya with deadly accuracy even when he was using the body flicker technique (due to the wood pieces on his clothing.

The two new comers still had Renjiros attention and his eyes were flickering between all 4 of them making sure they never snuck up on him. If it came to it he still had one pillar of 1 meter height left to defend himself with.

_______________

Total use of wood =

Next to me = 1 meter
From me to Nanaya = 2.5 meters
From me to Sho (after substitution and body flicker) = 6 meters

Total used 9.5

Word count = 260

OOC: Satsuki is one of my personalities, so I'm referring Satsuki as she/her, but its still me.

Satsuki had stopped moving farther back as she noticed that the pillar close to her had went under ground, but that was the least of her worries at the moment, it had seemed that Sho allowed himself to be caught, maybe it a way for Sho to see what this person’s strength was or maybe he had some sort of plan of his own. She was about to let Sho have his way when she noticed that the pillar had begun to tighten around his body as spikes stabbed into him.

She gave a small smile as she threw two kunai attached with a exploding tags at the pillar that held Sho, her as her small smile began to fade away as the pillar that rushed toward her, slammed into her body, what would have been expected was for there to be blood and the sounds of bones cracking, but instead her body exploded into nothing but water, revealing that the girl was nothing, but a water clone this entire time, but the question was where was the real one, and how long has she been out.

Any ninja would know better to never engage into combat without gaining any kind of knowledge on their opponent, even gaining a scroll from a complete stranger and arriving there in person was almost suicidal.

The umbrella burst into smoke, revealing to be Nanaya, but was this really him or was it just another water clone, that gave him a cold stare, quickly flashing some hand signs, "Let me ask you something Renji, do you like fire?" he asked in a calm voice, finally finishing the hand signs and breathing in heavily.

The real "Nanaya" was else where, stepping out from behind a tree to confront, both the pink haired girl and the male watching them closly while not exsposing his entire pressence.

What happened was before the entire match started, Nanaya had created a shadow clone and a water clone, both clones went to actually meet Renjiro, just to see what his intentions were, while the real Nanaya went to check around the area to see who else was around, the shadow clone hid them self as the umbrella, while the real was safe and was never attacked and was fully aware of what was happening.

- Sho Meikiri's dialogue

BOOM! And like that, the suspension and mayhem quickly began. Sho's big-headedness really screwed him over this time around. There was a saying "Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator." It referred to an individuals quote on quote 'ego’ , shouldn’t be larger then any normal size refrigerator. This motto should have been stamped on Sho Meikiri's forehead, since his own ego was completely opposite of small or tiny.

The grip and room of the wooden pillars, gradually began to tighten up and decreased in space for Sho to maneuver his body in. In the deepest trenches of his mind, there was imaginary voice. This 'inner voice' advised a couple of soothing words for poor ol' Sho. "Okay retard! Quit acting like you're Mr.Bigshot, causes you're not! Getcha' head in the game, or you'll be a dead genin......dumbass!" With those so called encouraging words being said, the trapped boy’s will to fight, sorta rose...

He slightly squinched in pain, as the grasp and spikes of the pillars, crept closer to his body sides. Steadily, he lowered his breathing rate. This allowed him to ease his nerves and conjure up a well thought out plan. "Alright now. Time to shut off the silly mode and think...." He thought among himself, but only in a rare clam state. This truly was a different side of Sho. But, this wasn’t the main impotence for now, except just to securely make it out alive.

It made be difficult to take Sho serious during a battle, since of his carefree and cocky attitude. But, when the time came, he was sure going to deliver. The boy’s brain began to transmit and evoke of ideas to his mind. Hopefully Sho’s personal distinctiveness of a "quick thinking" individual, would play a part in his survival. "There….!" He spoke among himself, in a rapid orderly fashions.

Sho looked up and corned his head, seeking the nearby tree area. Over his modest size broad shoulders, there was a bird. Wait no. An all black tinted crow. It was perched on a tree’s branch. From Sho’s direct position, he quickly estimated the bird like specie about approximately seven feet away from him. "Yes! That’s it. I’ll use poor fella over there!" As he conversed to himself, he unnoticeably slipped out a smoke grenade from his left weapon side pouch. Fully prepared, Sho cautiously held the grenade - like explosive in his left hand.

Seconds were being wasted. Sho was on threshold of becoming suffocated to death by...pimped wooden pillars. Once again, in came in affect of Sho's 'quick thinking' ability. "Oh yeah! I almost forgot about this baby." He hastily took a view of his left hand, containing the single smoke grenade. He threw it against the walls of the wooden pillars, with no time to squander. And like that, the smoke gernade denoted around a small region of air.

"Now! Kawarimi no Jutsu!"

With that being said, Sho quickly substituted himself with the recent black crow. It was the same crow perched on the tree's branches, about seven feet apart from Sho. As all of the explosions defused and settled, there be the presence of Sho Meikiri. On a thick tree branch, he was surprisingly in a comfortable squatted position. Still alive and functioning, he crouched down on the branch, sweating off his forehead. "Wow....now that was entertaining!" Sho yelled out in the opening of the misty terrain.

This whole encounter/battle brought a plain smirk to his face. Glad to survive death, Sho was in an boastful mood. But, on the downside, the place dummy of a crow apparently wasn't. Caught in Renjiro's deadly wooden pillar technique, it's skin was pierced from the spike ends of the pillars. Faint streams of blood oozed out of the tightly enclosed wooden pillars. This was sadly the sign of the poor crow's death, but who gave a shit? Sho was alive and active once more.

About twenty feet or so poised in the air, Sho looked down towards most of the noticeable and unnoticeable Kiri genins. "So are we all gonna fight each other, or get know each other, huh!?" Both hands plastered over his mouth, he shouted among all genins, only to channel his voice more clearly throughout the foggy area. Deep in his mind, he had a strange urge to speak to that mysterious pink haired kunoichi, he spotted earlier.

The pink haired girl sighed, as she took a seat on a rock nearby, watching the events with those eyes. They seemed to be a murky blue, mysterious and inviting, as she knew she'd be useless in this rain like weather. All she could do was hack and slash : and honestly, she didn't feel like it. Her pink painted nails were held to her face, as she comtemplated something, before putting it back down, unconciously tapping a rythym on her leg. Tilting her head back to look up, she waited a few more moments, choosing not to speak right now. The want to hum was getting stronger, as her body started to do so suddenly, simply because it was how she worked. Silence was killer, and the sound of music was soothing : a nervous habit of hers. There was a slight irritation in the corners of her mouth : she disliked being ignored by boys. The wood boy's actions made her want to reach out and burn it all to a crisp, but that wasn't what she had to do : she had to wait for the others to weak him further so that her fire could do damage. Yeah.. and she would beat him if he dared challenge her : her pride wouldn't let the kunoichi do otherwise. Tilting her head to the new arrival, she flashed him one of her cute, charming smiles. ''I don't know. But it's going to be just us until they do something. Meimu. How are you?'' she said, her voice gentle and soft with a touch of seducing honey. Well, while she waited..

With his arrival, things changed in the area. The battle started to slow down, as everyone started to talk to each other. Only two of the people there were still fighting, while others were watching. Other than himself, Marcus noticed how there were 4 other Genin here. One of them, the person who used wood jutsu, Marcus knew by the invite he got. He was the boy named Renjiro Senju. Judging by the things which happened, he appeared to be most skilled here, using the ability to manipulate two elements into the formation of a third one. Not only that, he was even able to manipulate this new element, how interesting.

Other than the boy Renjiro, there were others here as well. But, Marcus did not know any of them, nor did he saw them anytime before. This was because he arrived to Kirigakure quite recently, as a refugee from the Land of Lightning. In this village Marcus has been a Genin only for a year or so, learning all of the traditions of his new village. Since he had the element of water, blending in was easy. But, getting accepted was a lot harder. Even so, he had to try.

Anyways, back to the topic, the young boy heard one of the other Genin asking a question. He was interested into getting to know the rest of them, that is what he asked for. But, who knew which were his true intentions. All of this meant to be a rather simple and regular meeting, where a group of Genin would have a little talk. But, it ended up to be a fight, in which one of the people even used ninjutsu. While on the other hand, someone even used a Explosive Tag. Things were sure getting dangerous around here. The only two people who did not do anything so far were Marcus and this strange, but cute, pink girl.

While watching the events happening, Marcus noticed that the girl turned towards him. At this moment, the eyes of two young people finally met, so the young shinobi knew that the girl was going to say something to him. With the words spoken, Marcus decided to speak again, so that he could finally gain a friend. That would be the only good thing about this whole thing. With gentle and calm words Marcus spoke, saying: "Hello there, my name is Marcus Hoshi. If your asking me how am I, then i shall answer you with an simple word, OK. I am really not a fan of fighting, so for now, I could stay here with you."

With a few gentle steps, Marcus came up to the girls left. Then, he slowly set on a rock besides the one on which the pink haired girl was. With an same voice he spoke again, asking: "May I know your name by any chance?" While saying those words, his eyes gently closed, while a gentle and friendly smile formed on the face of the young Marcus.

[OCC: One nanaya you dotn have time to worry about saving sho s you have a wood pillar after you. You start to deal with me and sho your dead ... As for Sho ... you can barely breathe do you think you can move? And also you now have 20 spikes imbedded in your body ... 99% of people would have blacked out from the pain

Also if you think the explosive tags or the smoke granade would work to free Sho up, youd be very much wrong. The mokuton no jutsu makes sure that if a part of it is destroyed the pillars fo wood can be regenerated with chakra to instant replace itself.

Both of you need to edit]

Well Renji, since I had a what '99.9%' of dying. I used that 1% to save my ass. Let me further explain...

Because Sho Meikiri is a born 'quick thinker' (stated in my character's application), he is liable to conjure up rapid like thoughts or response to his mind. During this whole process, he takes him probably 5 seconds or less to 'think up' and 'preform' out a smooth out plan. (My apology for not earlier stating this) Once your wooden pillar's spikes tired to pierced the skin of Sho , that's when 'Change of Body Stance Technique.' came in affect (This all happened in the mere of seconds) It acted as a last second resort, before the wooden spikes even reached the body of Sho. Simultaneously, as the spikes touched the body of Sho, he substituted his body for the crow which was perched over on a tree branch. To be frank, Kawarimi no Jutsu's description does not inform that hand-signs are mandatory for the user to perform the technique. Well, not to my knowledge. So what I'm trying to say is that 'I'm not dead.'

But don't worry, I still updated / edited my last post. =P
