Brothers of blood and bone: Snake and Panther meet!

Posts : 235

The darkness of the overhanging sky could only barely represent the raging storm that could occur between two members of the bloodlust kaguya clan. Yet Matsunaka knew he had nothing to fear he rather welcomed the idea of finally meeting a member of his clan that wasn't a sniveling weak minded village slave. It was as if the ruthlessness of his clan had been curbed into being like little guard dogs that would only attack when told. This thought angered him, how could their clan retain the respect and fear they so rightfully deserved. Pushing through the foliage with added vigor Matsunaka continued his silent trek up the mountain toward the bone yards that he had heard so much about. As the surrounding forest creatures awoke at the disturbance of their domain by the large intruder Matsunaka focused on his destination letting the living jungle fade into the background of his mind. It was time like these that he would have liked to have Tetsu kaiden here to calm down these rambunctious creatures but his panther was off on a hunt which he didn't mind he knew that his panther could take care of itself. Turning his mind back to the task at hand he ran through the description of his fellow clansmen. "Ferocity of a feral tiger , doesn't live in the village lives in the bone graveyards of the mountains, highly dangerous and quick to tear apart any foe. Extremely dangerous." The description brought a smirk to is face, this was the epitome of the clan mentality especially having been out here in the wild among the wild creatures fighting for survival. Stopping for a moment he took in a deep breath, he could feel the wild feral basic instinct radiate in the air around him. It took most of his will power to contain the primal bestial fury that threaten to swallow his human thoughts alive.

Letting his head fall back down Matsunaka continued his solitary trek through the giant mountain that over looked the village of konoha. Breaking through the forest line, he was met with a large stone wall construct. With many cracks and crevices it would be perfect for a practice climb. Looking to his left he noticed a sheer drop off that had no obvious place for him to survive if he fell but what would this journey be without any danger and if his family member was as wild as the weak village elders made him out to be a sheer drop off would be the least of his worries. Letting the chakra infused calcium flow through his veins toward his fingers nails. Matsunaka nails grew to tough claws that easily pierced the rock. Hauling himself up hand by hand he scaled the large wall. As he neared the top he quicken his pace yet as he went to finish the climb his claws struck an outcrop rock causing him to slip from the wall. In the brief moment to think he swung out with a large right hand to hook onto the wall hanging by one arm. As the dust landed in his eyes he began to swing like a pendulum till he gained enough momentum to launch him the rest of the way. Flipping out with his hands he grab on the stone and pushed off to land in a clearing made of bone. The smooth rock and footprints revealed that someone had come this way recent and judging by the small campsite he saw he could tell that either his clan mate had made a temporary shelter among the crude cemetery of deceased beast or if it was another traveler like himself. Choosing the first option he sat down in the open jaw that was part of a decay carcass from a long dead creature. Waiting for his clan mate to show up he began to dissolve into a meditation state so he could have the energy to defend himself if need be.

Yoroi Kaguya

Holding a deer by it’s hind legs, Yoroi slowly walked back to his base camp not too far away from where he was now. On his hunt he had managed to kill a deer, even though deer was about as tasteless as meat could possibly get. He had some roasted pork and a few haunches of stringy wolf meat back in his camp, though it was always nice to have some fresh kill to feed on. Even though deer was far from his favorite kind of meat, there was a lot of it, so it would be able to be rationed for when it got colder in the mountains, the kind of time when one would be smart to keep a lot of food around. When skinning the animals, he made sure to take the bones out without breaking them, the skin without tearing it, all of these being valuable resources for the boy. The bones he used to craft totems and dream-catchers, which he then placed both on the ground and in the trees as both a sign of art and as a means to keep people and animals out. Most creatures avoided the corpses of their own, and when the bones still carried the smell of their species, they usually walked around it in a wide range.

The fur and skins would serve several purposes, both for tanning into leather and using the soft fur inside of the leathery tent he had made out of dead animals, bones, sticks and stone, turning all of it into a very well isolated, yet small and warm tent. He also used leather straps to tie things together tightly, just like the traps he set out for prey. When he had first set out into the woodlands, he had hoped some of his traps would have snared a couple of squirrels or rabbits, this was unfortunately not the case. All he really had to go on now was the single deer he had managed to cut down, that being all he had gotten from the hunt this time. Along the way he made sure to get some nuts and berries along the way, nuts carrying a lot of fat and energy he needed to stay energized during the day in a healthy fashion. The berries would do well to get some moisture into his body when on the move back to his mountain home, something he would need if he had to drag this deer all the way back. It would not be all that far now, and he could not wait to make something pretty out of the deer skull, not getting to work with Stag horns all that often, so that in itself was a treat.

Approaching his camp, he could tell that someone had been there other then him, another human when going by the tracks in the dirt. Leaving the deer beside a tree, he did not want to make any unnecessary noise by dragging the thing with him. Besides, it was not like that dead thing was going to run off on it’s own. Hopefully, the carcass would not go to attract any hungry animals. He had set traps further into the forest using waste meat such as organs, stuff he did not care enough for to eat in order to kill some larger predators who would come towards the rotting meat. In truth, he liked having carnivorous beasts around more then he liked being around people, treacherous and hard to read. Animals were simple, they did not have enough brain power to make things too hard for him, something humans had plenty of. They spoke and had conversations, things they used to hide their lies beneath layers of truth, all the more reason why he was not a fan of the concept. If people wanted to speak to him, they could keep it as short as possible, making it harder for them to lie through their teeth and obscure the truth of their intentions.

Noticing the trespasser, he made sure he would not be seen, which going by the fact that he seemed to be meditating would probably not be all that hard. Sneaking towards a nearby tree, he used his athletics and agility to climb up as quietly as he could. Halfway up the tree, he was slightly above the other person that had intruded in his territory, though the guy most likely had not noticed him yet, seeing as his eyes were closed. His fingers twitched, his instincts telling him to shoot him down with his bullets while he was still unaware of his presence, though it was simply not his style to do such a thing. Dropping his hand back to his side, he let out a short sigh before trying to make contact. “Hey you, you’re trespassing on my land, you know how you got here, so use that same route and remove yourself” he declared, rather then asking in a kinder fashion. He was not one for asking kindly or saying please, something the other kid would soon find out.

The air around him changed with the feeling of another presence, and judging from the sound of a solid thump upon the ground something obviously had been dropped in the area and from the smell it was dead; freshly dead. His eyes flashed open as he could hear the falling of leaves. Then the gruff voice of the man he wanted to meet. Judging from the harsh words he obviously didn't want to be bother but Matsunaka didn't come all the way out to the mountain to just be turned away by a few harsh words. He knew that this man would not be exactly kind nor welcoming. Matsunaka was neither of those so he understood the reason for the dark tension that was underlying in his voice.

Matsunaka stood to his feet and exited out of the jaws of the beast and looked up to the tree over his right shoulder his sharp lavender eyes boring into his clansmen. "Tch, I don't have time to waste, come out of that tree we need to talk." Lifting his hair from his forehead he revealed the kaguya clans mark that was apart of his clans custom. Matsunaka let his hair back down shaking it back into place. He knew that it could probably come to blows between him and his clansmate he was prepared for that he was just hoping that it would not be a battle to the death he would have much rather avoid that all together. If anything he had enough fighting for a little while after battling his inner kaguya in a struggle for his mind he much rather just have a simple conversation between him and a potential comrade and family member.

Judging from the furs that adorned his body he could tell that this man would be perfect for forest espionage. He could simply act like a wild beast, and then strike without warning and disappear again. Matsunaka could see the wild hair in which he had it was longer than what he thought it would be. Obviously from life in the wild he was unkempt but he respected him more than the other pampy ninja that he dealt with on daily basis. And hoping this was his clans mate it was obvious that he was man after his own heart not one of long discussion nor useless jabbering. Sitting down on the ground, he kept his eyes on the mysterious individual in the tree. "Hurry up, we don't have all day."

Yoroi Kaguya

As soon as the guy noticed him, he instantly started speaking to him in a rather loud tone of voice, a demanding one at that too. The guy told him that he wanted to have a talk with Yoroi, demanding he came down from his tree so they could do what this guy wanted. It was obvious that when he came here, he clearly had the wrong person in mind, for this one would not be as easy to control as whoever this guy believed him to be. Sitting down on the branch, he was making a statement, not planning on doing what this guy wanted from him on a whim. He did not say anything, instead just observing the guy while he allowed himself to drop down from the ancient jaw he had been sitting in with such disrespect. Shortly after he did so, he showed him something that looked like red dots on his forehead, something that seemed somewhat familiar to him, even though he could not exactly remember their meaning. He knew that he had seen it before in the village during one of the few visits he actually made into the place, though it had been a year ago if not longer. In time, he was sure that he would remember what they meant, but for now Yoroi wanted to say a few things to this guy before they would have any actual conversation.

“I don’t like people telling me what to do...”

His message was short and simple, hating it when people told him to what they wanted him to do, making it worse by telling him to hurry it up because “they” did not have all day. This in itself made him want to bash his skill against the rocks as a means of beating some sense into it, allowing the self righteous air to escape from his otherwise probably empty head. He would refrain from doing so, not wanting to spill any blood just because of some guy he did not know acting like a jackass. Others had come to him before, those people did not act all that kindly either, treating him like he was just a dumb cave man, though this was not the case. He was probably a lot smarter then most others from the village of his age, maybe even the entire country. He would not sell himself short, nor would he oversell himself, knowing exactly what he could and could not do, something most others from the village should try. Every time when he went to the training grounds, Yoroi could hear another pompous loudmouth preaching about the enemies he had killed, the amount of missions he had completed and the jutsu he had mastered. It was terrible to listen to all of that, and now one of those people had found their way into his home. This time however, he would put a stop to it before it started.

”You have about one minute to explain what it is you want to talk about or walk out of here before I make you leave. Whether you understand me or not does not matter, I am telling you what will happen. Also, I do not know what those weird dots mean, but I don’t like them..”

Explaining himself as clearly as possible, he already set his mind to a possible fight if the guy would choose to make a mockery of his ultimatum. He would not be ridiculed in his own home, least of all by one of the villagers with their easy yet useless little lives. The guy was supposed to be a civilized member of Konohagakure, yet he had completely failed to explain himself or even give him his name, something Yoroi took quite a bit of offense to. Yoroi was dead serious by this point, his eyes narrowing as they focused on the kid, his bones almost itching to be used for combat again. This time however, they itched even more then they usually did when someone was putting themself out there as a possible enemy of Yoroi, though he could not figure out the exact reason for it. It did not matter, cause if things continued as they did, he would just allow his bones to leave their mark on this guy soon enough.

"I don't like having to waste my time telling you what to do." Matsunaka could tell that there was malice in his voice and judging from the quick and brief response this individual was highly upset. Yet he had lived his life long enough to know that guys like these wanted their space respected and to never be trampled upon. He knew that feeling all too well, he had spent his entire existence gaining respect and he knew that it would only continue on from here. Yet despite his understanding he still couldn't shake his desire to jump up and strike this man with his bones too prove that he wast playing around and that he was serious. But if from the natural killer rivalry that radiated among clan members or maybe it was just that he didn't like the look on his face.

Standing to his feet he smirked as the guy spoke ”You have about one minute to explain what it is you want to talk about or walk out of here before I make you leave. Whether you understand me or not does not matter, I am telling you what will happen. Also, I do not know what those weird dots mean, but I don’t like them..” Matsunaka chuckled and stood to his feet. "Tch,I dont fear you. I only want to know one thing are you kaguya or not. "

If this guy didn''t know the mark of the kaguya clan maybe he was only dealing with a wild ninja that choose to live among the animals of forest. And if he did waste his time coming up this piece of rock and wasted a day of training. By this time the feeling of anger was beginning to set in he could his body begin to betray him the forest, this ninja, and his kaguya bloodlust could only be held back for so long. It would only be a matter of time before he would succumb to the dark desire and rip this man apart.

"I suggest you hurry before I get upset." He knew that this guy was a ninja and any ninja must have cunning and intelligence his fight with the large mountain brute all those summers ago had taught him a lesson. Never underestimate your opponent and never leave yourself open for attack. Matsunaka began to harden his bone and brace himself yet his body remain rigid his nerves on fire his fingers twitching with anticipation. His lavender eyes growing darker as he began to let the bloodlust slowly seep into his thoughts. He was surprised because he was half hoping that the guy would choose to fight rather than talk he hated long conversations. Whatever this man did next would decide if one of their bones would join the others in this graveyard upon the mountain top.

Yoroi Kaguya

By the time the guy spoke to him, he had already wasted any chances of getting any cooperation out of Yoroi. Being able to tell that this guy was quite a bit older then he was, he could not help but grin as he thought about something Hani had once told him, something about how older people were generally wiser and smarter then the young. This guy was obviously an exception to that rule, he did not seem all that smart to him at all, least of all the kind of person he considered to be wise. His body kept warm by the thick fur cloak he was wearing was nothing like the warmth coming from the core of his body, the part of him that wanted to shove this guy right down the side of the mountain. Chances were that Shakreido would drag himself back rather soon, especially once his incredibly accurate sense of smell caught onto the Deer carcass that had been left underneath the tree. Either he had already caught something of his own that was now being worked down his throat, or he would be here to get a haunch of the deer. It would not matter to Yoroi if he would come back now or later, even though having his companion with him would be beneficial to him. Two against one was an easy kind of fight, though it was most likely not all that necessary for him to get backup against a guy like this.

There was something about him that seemed off, an abnormal amount of blood-lust emanating from the guy like an aura. It did not spark up any shock or fear in Yoroi, not after he had lived out here for years. Opposed to him, the life this guy had been living was probably one of roses and fluffy clouds. The biggest problem he probably had in life was that his mommy did not love him all that much, or maybe daddy was not home all that often to support him. All of that paled in comparison with Yoroi, someone who had practically been raised by animals after his parents got killed when he was still basically a toddler. Now this guy came along, claiming he was not afraid of his threats, even though they were accurate as he could be. To Yoroi, the guy was putting himself up as being a threat, a threat that needed to be eliminated if it chose to persist. Under the cover of his fur cloak, Yoroi had a belt in which he had several ivory kunai, ready for battle when he needed them. Not just that, but he had plenty of other useful attributes within reach, allowing for quick access. Narrowing his eyes, he inspected the guy closer while keeping him locked in his visual, not allowing him to escape his sights whether he wanted to or not.

Yoroi did not like killing people, though the last guy he had met whom he believed was called Shikaruto, was a lot less annoying and assertive then this guy was. At the end of their conversation, Shikaruto had been the wiser one, choosing not to fight but to be on his way without any blood having to get spilled. Yoroi knew just as well as him that if they had ended up fighting back then, chances were that he would have killed him in cold blood, just like an animal. If this person would refuse to be a burden on Yoroi and would make an attempt to hurt or kill him, there would be a similar response coming from him, life was simple like that. Shakreido would most likely not be all that much against killing this guy, his abnormal appetite probably having enough room to devour a human along with the deer and wolves it was used to eating. Even though one of them was warm blooded and the other had cold blood pumping through it’s veins, they both had a similar look on things, choosing to take care of troublesome people rather then having to keep up with their bullshit.

“I am not Kaguya, I am Yoroi, if it’s what you wanted to hear so badly. If you are, then that means you’re most likely at the wrong address, so either you want to go and get “upset” somewhere else, or we are going to have a problem”

Cracking his neck shortly before cracking his knuckles, he had loosened himself up, preparing himself for whatever this guy would throw at him. If he was such a big shot as he thought he was, Yoroi would probably not have the time to stretch when in battle, though that was a good thing. His senses had been in perfect sync with the rest of his body as a result to a life of struggle, learning through trial and error, something this guy would not be able to claim. Every Shinobi had a story of their own, though Yoroi was no Shinobi, he was merely a hermit living in the woods who had attained a certain amount of Ninjutsu, all thanks to a young lady from the village that actually bothered to teach him how to speak, read and how to become a Shinobi. Yoroi did not know where she was on this day, though he owed it to her to stay alive until they could meet again.

Matsunaka smirked as he laughed at the thought how quick Tetsu Kaiden would be quick to eat this guy and whoever else tried to hurt him. But then again this guy been out here in the woods his entrie life surrounded by animals and creatures of the forest. It was this prospect that intrigue Matsunaka the most. If this guy is not hindered by the limitations of human remorse he will provide an excellent fighting partner seeing as he will represent what a true force of nature is like. Animal prowess combined with the intelligence and cunning of a ninja. This combination was dangerous to anyone especially a guy like matsunaka but when you spent your entire life in the slums of konohagakure among the thieves and crime lords you tend to forget that fear exist. He knew that he probably would have the guy highly upset and angry. But it seemed that he didn't care it was if every viable and human thought came into his mind was pushed away by this unfaltering desire to fight this guy. The only time he was even close to this mindset was when he fought the giant. Stalking back and forth between two points on the ground he prepared for the worst but the funny thing was he wasn't worried in the least.

He was threat, he knew that by the way the guy had responded to him and watched him with cold calculating eyes that could bore holes into the very core of his feeble human soul. If his soul was just human, his kaguya spirit was unrelenting like the dark hard bone that it lent it's name to. And he could feel the bloodlush only grow as the guy was silent. Yet the next statement would send him over the edge despite being not what he wanted to hear.“I am not Kaguya, I am Yoroi, if it’s what you wanted to hear so badly. If you are, then that means you’re most likely at the wrong address, so either you want to go and get “upset” somewhere else, or we are going to have a problem” At this Matsunka snapped his head up and grinded his teeth. Not kaguya if this guy was not kaguya and some Yoroi character then he had wasted his time yet again. He traveled up the mountain and snuck out only to be told no by some guy in a bunch of fur animals skins he cut from his friend. "A problem?, Tch a problem." He had enough of this small game this guy was playing he had enough crap as it to deal now he wasted a day journey up this blasted mountain. Growling he enlarged his canine teeth chakra infused calcium making his teeth sharp and rock hard. Flashing kunai into his large palms he spoke. "Make me leave." His challenge quick and to the point a deliberate way to goad this guy into battle his blood lust had enough of being in the back seat.

Yoroi Kaguya

At this point, boredom had already gotten the better of him, all he was really hearing out of the guys mouth being bla bla and bla. The guy was just one total bore that was wasting both Yoroi’s time and his own with his constant rambling about how he would get mad or how he was not going to leave without being forced to. Reaching into his pockets to ensure that he could retaliate in time, he let his fingers slip through pieces of paper while looking ahead. The guy could stay around the place if he wanted to, though Yoroi would completely ignore his existence, just like one would ignore a fly that was too much of a hassle to get rid of. If he had been a bit more respectful to begin with and had not treated the large skeleton like a seat, chances were that he would have been a bit more welcoming to him. Then again, Yoroi had bad experiences with the men of Konohagakure, the few others he had met had not been all that kind to him, something that just drew a bad example in his mind. The only people from Konoha he liked based on gender were the females, simply because they had always been much kinder to him, just like Hani had been.

Bending through his knees, he placed both of his hands around the branch, holding on tight and getting ready to make a sudden dash off of the tree if he would be forced to fight. Yoroi was ready to fight just like he always was, though things seemed to be a bit too awkward for his tastes. He had heard about the Kaguya clan and how they were bloodthirsty fighters all, though the guy in front of him only had an aggressive mouth, his body being quite stationary. That was when he noticed the kunai in his hands, though it made very little difference to him. He had made it clear to him that he was going to insist on being a problem for him, so Yoroi would also let the guy know what he thought about him without being gentle. He considered the man to be nothing more then trash, the difference in age making things all the more saddening. Older people should set the right example, though this guy was just nothing more then trash.

“You talk a lot, though I am not seeing a whole lot of actions. If you want something to happen, I suggest you make it happen, unless all of your big talk was nothing more then mere trash like yourself”

Yoroi spoke in a very condescending fashion, knowing that there was little to nothing he could do to beat Yoroi in battle. If he wanted to do something, he could start walking back home or he could come at Yoroi and make true to his big words. He probably was too much of a chicken to try and come after him, he had seen his kind many times before. The guy he had met before had also put up a big mouth but had chosen not to fight when things started getting near critical levels. Letting some of his chakra flow, his body was ready to act if the guy would attack him, even though it was entirely unlikely. If he would, they were very likely to engage in close combat, this being Yoroi’s strongest point in battle, though he was also quite capable of using Ninjutsu in a fight. He hated the formation of seals, so he would most likely not try it, though it did not mean that he could not do it if he needed to.

“So if you are a big bad fighter, bring it on and show me what you've got or leave with your pride intact. If you just want to stand there and show off, you only put yourself to shame. A Kaguya is supposed to be a fighter with great skill and ruthlessness, not one who just stands around acting like a big bad wolf, or am I wrong, little lamb...”

Yoroi Kaguya

Yoroi watched calmly as the guy seemed scared out of his mind as a result of rustling of the leaves. It was Yoroi's snake, Shakreido that happily slithered into Yoroi's territory with a stomach full of rabbits that it had caught nearby. He did not know whether it had been because of the snake or because he had been second guessing his decision of fighting Yoroi, all he knew was that the tough guy left the scene as fast as his feet could take him. This worked out just great for Yoroi, being able to return to his quiet day. He still had a lot of animals to skin and gut, not to mention the amount of totems he could craft with his latest catch. Sending a glance in the direction of the village, he could still see the dust that had been sparked up by the guy when he passed.

“I figured you were a coward, just keep running and don't come back...”
