Enter! Kyoshiro Mebu! [Kumo Nin Only]

Kyoshiro sat on the roof atop Kumogakure's Academy, looking out over the mountain-esque village. He often came up here after class, watching the villagers and the shinobi move about their business. He didn't want to get home right away, for he knew chores awaited him. Plus, the young shinobi didn't like walking through the crowds, his home being on the opposite side of the village. His mother had taught him not to trust anyone, and being in a crowd would just leave him open to any unsuspecting person that might target him.

He scowled as he saw a group of shinobi gathering at he village gate off in the distance, no doubt preparing to go off on some mission. Shinobi.. The main people his mother told him never to trust. His right hand went down to the hilt of his ninjato that was strapped across his lower back, parallel to the ground. He could firmly feel his Bo Staff pressing against his back, ready for him to draw at any minute. Deep inside, he hoped he would never have to use it on a member of this village. But his mind was mainly focused on one day using it to protect himself against a traitorous shinobi.

Hasashi was in a good mood, which was typical of the young Genin. He had just finished his lunch , and had been wondering if he should take a mission in a few hours. I really could use the money, maybe if I got enough I could buy some new materials and make a cool weapon or something! Hasashi was a tinkerer, and fancied himself a great inventor. He had decent ideas, though he had yet to come up with anything truly interesting. He had started creating two items that were without a doubt impressive for someone his age, but he was no true intellectual genius.

Hasashi considered heading towards the kage office and doing a mission, but on the way he caught site of the Academy. A student was on top of it, much to Hasashi’s surprise. The other kid was to far away for Hasashi to make out who it was, but he wondered if it was someone he knew.

Hasashi quickly made his way over to the academy, and once close enough he jumped onto the roof. He was wearing his normal black t-shirt and white pants. His headband was strapped across his forehead, clearly showing the other kid that he was a ninja. His ninjato was strapped across his back as usual, with the hilt poking out over his left shoulder. He looked at the other kid with his brown, almost black eyes curiously, noticing that he had a lot of weapons with him.

“Hey! What are you doing up here?” he would ask in his curious yet excited voice. He stood on the roof only 3 meters away from the kid, and waited for a reply.

Kyoshiro spotted the kid heading his way. Of course, he hadn't at first. But when the kid was within ten meters of the Academy the movement in his peripheral vision had caught his attention. He watched the kid, expecting him to go through the building or divert another way. But no, he saw the kid's eyes looking up at him, locking eyes for a second. The student backed away from the edge as he the other boy had jumped up, totally not what Kyoshiro was expecting, and landed on the roof.

Standing almost ten feet away, Kyoshiro glared at the kid till he was asked a question. His mother had always put thoughts into his head, and for a second he thought he was about to be mugged or something. But that didn't seem to be the case. Still, he kept his wits about him and answered the kid.

"Just waiting for the afternoon hustle to get over with before I head home. Why are you up here?" he asked, looking at the kids eyes, then mouth and then the rest of his body. Kyoshiro was looking for any detail in the kids movements that would give away a threatening response. He wasn't sure what a person's movements were like when they were hostile, but Kyoshiro was sure he'd know it when he saw it.

Hasashi looked at the village when the boy mentioned the hustle, noting that there were quite a few people walking around in the village. Hasashi didn’t know why the boy wanted to wait for it to die down though, Hasashi loved walking around people. They were so interesting, to him at least. He guessed not everyone was like him, which was weird, but his parents told him not everyone was the same.

Hasashi saw the other boy examining him. Why? Hasashi did not know. Unsure as to what to do, he decided to look the kid over as well. One of the first things he noticed, was that the boy also had a ninjato. This immediately caught the young boy’s interest.

“Hey nice sword! It looks a lot like mine!” Hasashi said, forgetting that the other boy was looking over. He grabbed the hilt of his sword, and in his excitement, unsheathed it rather quickly. It would have probably have been best if he had pulled it out slowly, or said something about wanting to compare swords. But Hasashi was the kind of person who acted before thinking when he wasn’t sparing or fighting.

After he unsheathed his sword, he held it out towards the boy, wanting to show him the blade. It was nice and clean, he made sure to polish it whenever he thought he needed to. It actually reflected the sunlight near the boy’s face too, I wonder if his sword is as awesome as mine is?

Hasashi’s sword was not pointed at the boy, the tip would be pointing a bit to the boy’s left. Hasashi was also holding the sword with his left hand. He began walking towards the other boy cheerfully, “What do you think of my ninjato, pretty cool right?”

Kyoshiro was too deep in thought to process what the other boy said at first. And the following movement didn't help as well. It all seemed to happen at once. The boy grabbing the hilt of his Ninjato, the quick draw and the movement toward him. The reflected light hit Kyoshiro square in the face, temporarily causing a quick blinding. He could only see spots and shadows and the point of the blade coming toward him. He panicked.

In his panic he lost most sense of reason. He heard the boys voice as he spoke, but it seemed distant. Kyoshiro's fight or flight response had occurred, adrenaline rushing through his body as his right hand shot toward his Ninjato's hilt, pushing himself forward toward the approaching boy. If this guy was trying to mug Kyoshiro, then Kyoshiro would be the first to attack. That was the only thing going through his mind.

Being partially blinded, Kyoshiro unsheathed his Ninjato and struck all in one movement, his blade coming up from the right of his waist and ended up over his left shoulder in a diagonal crescent swing. Of course, he couldn't judge very well where the boys own Ninjato would be. His attempt was to knock a weapon that was pointed directly at him out of the way. But if his attacked did catch the young boy by surprise, Kyoshiro's own weapon would simply slide along the edge of the weapon harmlessly. He would quickly then attempt another simple twist of his blade and follow the same path back down, again harmlessly skidding down the blade if it was still in its same close position.

Kyoshiro wasn't nearly as fast as the boy, even with the extra speed from the withdrawal of the blade. The young boy was sure to easily counter and predict Kyoshiro's speed, being used to a higher level of speed than this Academy Student was used to.

Hasashi saw the kid bring out his sword, maybe he wanted to show off his as well? Hasashi didn’t mind, though the boy did look a bit odd. As the sword exited the sheathe though, Hasashi was surprised to see the boy slash with it. So surprised, that he barely had enough time to try and block the attack. The boy caught him by surprise, and Hasashi attempted to move as their blades hit, his sword arm jerking back despite the small amount of force behind the other boy’s attack. He tried to move backwards, but still be surprised he wasn’t moving as fast as he normally did. The boy’s blade came down the same path again, and Hasashi barely managed to block that slash as well.

He blocked the blade with the flat side of his Ninjato, and this time he managed to hold his own against the kids attack. Their blades locked, unless the boy moved away after realizing his attack had been stopped. Even if the kid didn’t move his blade, Hasashi would quickly jump away from the kid, and on to the ground below. There was no one around, it seemed the teachers were either inside the building or had left, and the other students had left awhile ago as well.

Hasashi pondered what he should do, and was wondering why the kid had attacked him. He just wanted them to compare their weapons, what was wrong with that?

“Hey! What’s your problem?” He had decided it would be best to ask what was wrong. He sounded quite a bit irritated, “There was no need for that!” Hasashi was rather upset. If the kid wanted to spar he should have at least asked first. It seemed a lot of people liked attacking preemptively, to Hasashi that was rather rude though.

As fast as he could, Chishiki was dashing over the rooftops of Kumogakure no sato. He would then go around few areas to find anything funny to do today ... He would look down and see 2 persons standing by each other. Chishiki would have his sharingan activated as usual, he could see them having a normal chakra stream ... nothing big here. He would not be able to see who they were from this range so Chishiki decided to get closer and greet them.
''Hello there!'' he would say when he was in a preferred range to talk in.
'My name is Chishiki, Chishiki Tojidofukoto Uchiha'' he would say with his 1 tomoe sharingan on. He was wearing his just normal attire, not his phoenix flames, only his chain mail and everything else. He had let the flames stay at his parents, the same with the katanto and dragon mask. He would look at the 2 persons and smile. The 7 year old boy, that was what Chishiki was, he was only 7 years, but still capable of doing lots of things.
He would just stand there and smile.

(I guess Kyoshiro isn't coming back anytime soon :/ Going to exit. Ignoring Lightwind's post for the most part, because the people Chisiki are talking to couldn't be me and Kyoshiro...)

The boy didn’t respond after Hasashi yelled at him, merely stood up upon the rooftops while the young Uchiha remained on the ground. Both still had their swords drawn, but it seemed neither would continue the fight.

Hasashi slowly backed away, leaving the Academy grounds. Once he had done so, he sheathed his sword and began walking home, though he remained attentive incase the boy wished to follow him and try to ambush him. He began heading home, thinking it best to stay inside for a little while.
