Reminiscing Foreign Memories (P,NK) Invite Only

The sound continued as if it had a eternity. The sound was the rain outside of his house. Thunder clouds had came above the large ninja village of Kumogakure and poured a infinite amount of rain on top of the village. Weeks ago of this had happened he would feel sorrow for the villagers who's homes were torn apart from the Akatsuki War. But now the new Raikage, Head of Akatsuki who's name was Youka rebuilt the village with several other ninja. Rikaro chuckled a little while he layed back on his bed. Some ninja who still despised the man called him a Hypocrite from his rebuilding of the village. Rikaro cared little now as his mother was still missing. He believed she had only ran away when the fight came their way. But she would never leave without Rikaro or his father he was sure of it. He jumped out of his bed and stood right in front of a body sized mirror. Every since he had awakened his clan's bloodline Meigan his physical appearance had changed. His used to be silver hair was now black and it covered his eyes making him look mysterious. His eyes now were black and they seemed to absorb the darkness around him. His skin that you to be tan was now pale looking as if he trapped souls within him. He smirked remembering his encounter with the bimbo Mei." I am not a bimbo. If it was not for me you would still not know of your Meigan. Now put on some cloths so I can instruct you on how to use your clan's element Meigan " said the Yuumei Mei. Rikaro frowned and did not reoly as he through on a black v-neck, some leather jeans, and black combat boots." I look like a true Shinkou now " he laughed as he snatched his Kumo headband off of his night stand and tied it around his head pushing his hair out of his eyes. He jumped out of his opened window and on to the roof of a building below him that was low.

When he fell on the roof of the building he tucked in his body and rolled so his head would not impact the roof. Fortently he survived the fall but ended up at the edge of the roof of the building. He sweat dropped as he caught he balance by harnessing his chakra into his feet." Oh God " he said out allowed as he let the chakra grip go and he started to free fall from 15 feet in the air. One telephone pole stood a few feet away from him. He shifted his body so it would start going towards the pole. Chakra formed innhis feet as he shoe soles touched the pole stopping him from falling. He was fortunate because there was a ladder on the pole. He grabbed on to the ladder bars and began to climb down the pole. He had a rhythm going on that was Right, Left, Right, Left, Right. Which had finally gotten annoying so he dropped the rest of the way down landing softly onto his feet. He looked around trying to figure out where he was. He was still surrounded by buildings so he was in the compounds. He to off to 9 o'clock going for the training grounds where his friend was going to meet him to train. Well she was not a friend exactly more of an acquaintance. Lisa was her name who resembled him a little as she still failed to tell him her clan. He arrived at the training grounds to see the girl with her hands on her temples looking very mad. He smirked so she was mad at him for being late. As soon as he opened his mouth she had rushed at him pushing him square in the stomach making spit fly out of his mouth. Unfortunately he held his balance so the attack was more powerful. He took that meant training had begun as she sent a round house kick to the left aide of his head. His Meigan activated by itself as he saw the power of the Taijutsu equipped kick that was fueled with chakra. His left arm raised and grabbed hold to the girl's leg that was in the air. When his hand had a grip on her leg his right arm thrusted forward his palm hitting her stomach where he gripped her shirt and forced her onto the ground. He was inba crouching position while she was on her back. He opened his mouth saying " You should not really attack people out of anger your attacks become slower and wilder. If you were not angry that kick would have done some damage. His crimson red eyes stared into her dull black eyes." I am impressed not even Ryan got that close to me when we were training. And I see you have unlocked a doujutsu. Most likely your clan's doujutsu " said Lisa as she moved her right leg that was on the ground at incredible speed knocking Rikaro off of his feet and face planting into the dirt while Lisa jumped back and stared at him waiting for him to move.

Rikaro cursed at himself for learning only basic Taijutsu. He should have learned Ninjutsu when he had the chance." Fortently for you I will be able to teach you some of the clan's jitsu " said Mei within Rikaro's head. That made him smirk as he stayed on the ground as he saw Lisa come towards him actually running. She jumped in the air her left leg extended for his head. What the hell was she trying to kill me he thought as the leg was merely inches away from his head. He rolled to the left her leg barely missing his head. He jumped on his feet and got into his fighting stance. He charged at her his palm heading for her right shoulder. It did not hit as she leaned back. He balled his hands into a fist as he throwed a punch at her face at the same time his left hand was going towards her stomach. It was a basic trick as it was instinct to block a attack aiming for your face. Like Rikaro thought Lisa tried to block the attack that was coming for her face and failed to see his fist hitting her stomach that blower her back at least 10 feet. She hit the ground rolling and Rikaro smirked. He had started walking towards her when he saw a body jump from one of the trees by his side. It was Ryan!! Rikaro smirked because he did not know this would be a 2 on 1 battle. He avoided Ryan's attack by that gave time for Lisa to recover and arrive on the aide of her boyfriend Ryan. Rikaro frowned the three of them were equal in strength so how was he suppose to be able to face both of them at the same time. He heard a voice in his head that sounded distant that told him " Believe in your self ". Those words seemed to trigger something in Rikaro's head because he charged forward. The couple took that as their cue and charged at Rikaro as well. Both sent a kick to either side of his head but Rikaro avoided by jumping into the air above both of their kicks and land each of his feet on each of their moving legs bringing them down to the ground clearly leaving a bruise. Rikaro jumped off the slanted legs doing a backflup extending his right leg as far as he could hitting Lisa under her chin making her fly into the air instantly knocking her out. 

He showed no mercy as when he landed he gave Ryan no time to recover and sent multiple kicks and punches at the boy's body making him cry out in pain. Rikaro final move was punching the boy in the jaw sending him to the ground. Rikaro fell to his knees exhausted and stared at both of the people who were unconscious on the ground. They would surely be mad at him when they awoken." So Mei how did I do " Rikaro asked the Yumeii in his mind. He got a simple reply " You did good now meditate and come into your Mind Scape to battle me " said Mei. Rikaro said OK and jumped into a tree closing his eyes and began to meditate going into his mind scape a place where he could see Mei's "Physical Form". In front of him stood Mei who wore a dress that dragged on the ground. It was a dark purple color that looked like it was black the Sam color as everything she had on even he eyes." Now let us began Rikaro " she said which meant that was a cue fro Rikaro to charge her. As he ran towards her when he hit her chest she bursted into a mass of Black shadows and then reformed her hand clamping on to him throwing him into the air. As Rikaro came back down his shadow over the women she disappeared into his shadow and appeared right below him grabbing onto his shirt turning him around mid air and putting her feet in top of him and seemed to ride him like a skate board only thing was they were going straight down. He knew that was going to hur . When he hit the ground the while place got filled with dust that for on to his Meigan activated eyes. He shook his head and jumped out of the crater. The dust covered the whole area the only thing in sight was piercing crimson eyes that moved in every which direction frequently. Unfortently both Rikaro and Mei could see each other's chakra from the use of Meigan. He saw a wave of darkness come towards him blowing away the dust before he could even react Mei appeared behind him kicking him in the small of his back forcing him towards the oncoming shadows. The shadows seemed to consume him. It felt as if his very soul was being absorbed from his very body. The darkness disappeared and he fell to his knees sweat dropping from his face and onto his ground. A spear of darkness appeared into Mei's hand who was walking in front of him. She trusted the spear to his head appearing out of the back of his head. He woke up from his meditation from the shock of the killing blow." Now you know what being killed feels lik. I was taking it easy on you so think of the other ninja who are far stronger than me who will show no mercy to you. This means you need to get atrongw and stop playing around like you are still a academy student " said Mei who had a voice of darkness. Rikaro nodded as he fell from the tree limb he was on and onto his back sweat sliding off of his back fast. His chest heaved up and down in a random rhythm. He knew this feeling he had to calm down or else he would go into shock really quick. He turned his head slightly and saw that Ryan and Lisa were gone. They must did not want to disturb his meditation so they had left. His Meigan deactivated and he continued to stare at the many clouds of the Kumo region. 

He continued to state at the clouds thinking about his missing mother who was either dead or missing and Rikaro chose the answer which did not make him grieve. He really had hoped his mother was simply missing and not dead. He could jot imagine finding his mother's body in a near by stream clearly decomposed as if a person who had the power over decomposition touched her and decayed her body beyond recognition. He smirked because no one in the world had those kind of powers besides god himself.

Mortarions frame would be of that sitting atop a building close to where the happenings of the day were going on. Unlike most days he was in full armor regalia with Silence in hand hanging over his head slowly dripping it's toxin onto the ground beneath him. The pack on the back of his armor hummed with life as a jet of vile fumes poured from it up into the sky. As he breathed through his re breather it would sound muffled before he breathed back out and a few flies escaped the slits floating off into the distance before dispersing into nothingness. The new disease that Epidemius had given him was attempting to actually eat it's way out of his stomach. Whatever it was was completely on a different scale than the last decay ridden disease and it forced him to stay in his armor or risk his insides falling out and killing him, his healing abilities had waned even further only healing the basest of damage to his body as the decay worked faster.

Here he had sat patiently, just observing his nin's actions and the way they moved and fought. He could tell by their tactics that they were still just fledglings when it came to combat and any other form of martial tactics. The one that took his attention the most was the one he had followed even from the time the male left his window and continued onward. While his fighting still left much to be desired the spark of life and the will to get stronger still shined through it all.

Going over the faces of ninja in his head he frowned as he still drew a blank for who the boy was. He hadn't made it a priority to learn every name yet as it was just a struggle to get all of their financial affairs back in order and set up trade routes and businesses once again. As the boy lay there now either meditating or resting Mortarion would drop from the building to the ground creating a thunderous sound as metal hit pavement. With a few giant strides the behemoth in his armor would arrive to Rikaro's location the toxins from the pack on the back of his armor still pouring into the air reducing the tree nest to them to a decayed husk of what it once was. Mortarion would speak through his mask, each word releasing a dark purpilsh fume of chakra before dispersing.

"Rest..is for the dead."

As he was lying tired on the hard ground. A foreign smell had caught Rikaro's attention and it was not a good one. It smelled of something rotten, like all of the rotten things in the world put in one. Rikaro decided to keep his mouth close not wanting to inhale the horrible toxics that might be in the air. As soon as he got up he came face to face with the Grim Reaper himself only this time the man was a hulking figure over him. Rikaro saw a gas mask on the man's face with Flies flying out up it but turning to dist quickly. It was as if they were decaying. He looked at the grass below his feet the flowers had died turning black the same color as the grass that was once Green. He turned his eyes back to the man mouth still closed not knowing if the air would poison him. He decided to speak with the Mei within his mind." Yuumei who is this man " he asked in his mind quickly. There was a long pause before Mei said " I have never felt a chakra so powerful it is as if this man in front of you is decaying everything in the area look around " she said. Rikaro looked around quickly leaves were on the ground trees were slumped over. 

It was the nightmare he was just thinking of before this Hulk of Death came before him. He never thought just by simply thinking of something it would appear. This man had the power over Decomposition itself. Rikaro looked at the lot of skulls on the man's chest. He wondered if they were the skulls of the fallen victims of the man. If they were was his self gomma be up there? The man then walked up to Rikaro and said five simple words " Rest is for the dead ". Rikaro did not know what he did to die by decomposition. Rikaro stared at the barely visible purple chakra that cane out of the man's mouth when he talked finally it disappeared from the air. Maybe the air is not toxic said Rikaro as he opened his mouth and said " Who are you ".

He wondered if the man would even attempt to reply. For all Rikaro knew he himself could be slowly dying from the inside and did not know of it. He did not bother activating his Doujutsu as that alone would not help him face a behemoth such as the man in front of him. And Rikaro knew even if the man was a Hulk of a person he still could move fast.

The boy would slowly stand from his laying position never once taking his eyes off the death lord that stood in front of him. Through the hood covering his head Mortarion would study the boy through slitted eyes that seemed to gleam a foul reddish tint. The boys instincts to not show his back to a foreign person was very good indeed, one never knew when a kunai would slid into their spine, or in this case a man reaper scythe splitting you in two. The kage didn't expect himself to be known to anyone in the village while he wore this armor, it wasn't something he had honestly kept on till this point. Allowing Silence to stand upwards in would rise abve his head just slightly as it continued to spew it's poison eroding the very ground beneath it.

No words were spoken from the child for what seemed like an eternity he simply stood up and stared at Mortarion taking in the potential that maybe he was seeing the true angel of death. Then it happened, the male gave voice to his questions in an unsure way almost as if just asking the question would rot his own flesh away. For a moment there would be silence from Mortarion as well as his gaze never moved, it simply stayed glued onto the boys own eyes as if looking through him fr some untold information. Then he would speak, still through his mask filtering all the air around him to constantly breath in a deadly poison on his body could handle, it was how he kept the pain from the rot in check by off putting it with his own decay.

"I am Mortarion, your Raikage, who are you child?"

Rikaro stared at the personification itself as the man continued to stare down Rikaro with those slanted eyes of his. The Scythe in the hulk like person hand seemed to make the man even more imposing. Rikaro heard the man speak seeing the purple toxins come off of his mask." I am Mortarion your Raikage who are you child " said the man. He stared at the man showing no sign of shock something the Raikage might have expected." Well Rikaro there is your answer the man is the Raikage " said Mei who voice had got distant which meant she had went to sleep. Rikaro looked at the man up and down the Raikage had not looked like this when he first got to the village to attack so it must have been some kind of powerful armor. Rikaro did not like formalities but since this was the Raikage he had to use them." Excuse me Lord Raikage I did not know it was you. You look completely different " said the 18 year old. Maybe he could give the Raikage some ideas really quick since they were talking face to face.

He smirked then opened his mouth and said " Lord Raikage there has been something I have been meaning to ask you. Could you get Ninja to build a Lava Wall within Kumo for training purposes as well as get those new types of Piranhas the Flying type to fly around the wall. It'll be a good way to train. Maybe if you can you could build a mountain around our lovely village with lava coming down for protection it could be a second line of defense milord " said Rikaro still staring at the now unmasked man. He would wait to see what the Raikage would say. It would either be a simple yes or no or I'll send you to my dungeons.

There was a moment of silence between the two as they both shared of moment of equal staring. Each person unwilling to break the silence first they held glares till finally the male spoke. It made Mortarion cringe every time he heard the formal greeting, still he managed to remain composed instead of once again tell someone they didn't need to hold to such formal titles. What was spoken was on past looks and the changes that had taken place with the new armor and the like. No surprise in his voice either meant he was very good at holding in his feelings or he really wasn't scared, both were very good.

As the male went off into his own rant for awhile about new things and what he wanted as far as new village training ground and defenses went Mortarion would simply stare slightly leaning his weight on his scythe. The male wanted a lava wall with flying fish, it was a very interesting request to say the least. He even went as far as to request a volcano, what was this kid on, or was his imagination just that vibrant? A gurgled laugh would escape his rebreather and with it a swarm of decay flies would pass as well before once again dispersing in the air.

"I will make sure to file your inquiries and see what I can do to honor your request in some way or another. Is your training here done by the way, I would like to see a little of what you have been doing."

So the young Raikage wanted to see Rikaro's skills. Not that Rikaro was humble or anything but he didn't have any skills really he relied purely on instinct or with the guidance of Mei, she was like the eyes on the back of his head being able to see what Rikaro could not see. He stared at the flies that were going through the process of decomposition. It would be a honor to hold that power Rikaro thought. But with great power came with great responsibility. He had to much stuff to think about as it is. He stared at the destroyer of Kumogakure. His eyes analyzing the Kage before him. He never had been in a Kage presence or even this close to one so this was his first time feeling the power rolling off the man. It was powerful Rikaro knew he could have been crushed at any moment by the Raikage. He took his state off the Raikage his Meigan shimmering into existence. He knew that it was bad to show people your Bloodline but this was the Raikage. He would not kill kill villagers for no reason. Or will he? Massive amounts of thoughts came pouring into Rikaro's head. This was something he had been dealing with for a long time. His father had simply said that Rikaro had a mind of a true strategist. But he did not believe one word of it. His father always through compliments at him wether they be true or false. 

He jumped 5 meters behind him his eyes not leaving the behemoth in the front of him a simple battle technique his father had taught him. He opened his mouth and began to speak to the Raikage saying " I do not know any Ninjutsu as of yet besides the basic academy three which I am sure you know of " Rikaro said. It would have been a puty if a man with such power did not know of the Academy three. Rikaro continued to talk this time saying " While in the academy we could not learn any jutsu that was above our rank because people said they would " hurt " us " Rikaro said using his fingers as quotation marks when he said the word hurt." So instead I stuck to simple Taijutsu moves as you have seen when I was fighting Lisa and Ryan. I guess I'll just show you my Taijutsu " Rikaro said. He looked around the only people in the area were the Raikage and Rikaro he needed another person if he wanted to show his skills to the leader of the village.

How the hell am I suppose to show him what I can do if I have no one to do it with thought Rikaro as he looked at the Raikage." Excuse me but how am I suppose to show you what I can do with no partner " asked Rikaro questionly (if that's a word lol). Rikaro looked at the Kage expectantly hoping he would get a good answer from the man.

Mortarion continued to stare, to bore a hole through the male so to speak,his gaze never once retracted from the male. His towering frame simply standing looking down on the male as he attempted to understand just what it was that seemed different about the ninja. There was something interesting inside of him whether it be his will or something else but there seemed to be much hidden power that only needed to be let out in order for the world to know jut how strong he could be. The plague lord simply let his mind drift off into the endless chaos of his mind as he attempted to fathom the raw untapped power of Rikaro. A quick lick of his lips would pass as he thought more on the subject, seeing power come to life was something he enjoyed watching, and if he could also mold the male into a wonderful shinobi then everything would fall perfectly into place.

In ever silence and vigil Mortarion noted the males backwards movements to gain space. He was indeed quick on his feet for someone of his skill and rank. Sure it was slow to the Raikage, but to another genin these were practiced steps that could only get better with time. Rikaro spoke briefly about not knowing any ninjutsu to help him right now. To Mortarion this was not a negative limit, when one didn't have to luxury of relying on long range fighting their mind truly excelled at coming up with varying strategies to help them dominate close range fights.

What was truly a sight to see was the way Rikaro activated something, his eyes changing briefly, this was something new to him something he hadn't seen before. A wicked smile would appear on his face at the last words as well that were uttered from the males mouth in front of him.

"Whom indeed...whom indeed."

His words were laced with a chaotic power that belched from his gut with every word he spoke the fumes seeming to rot the very sky above them. Raising his left hand to shoulder height Mortarion would snap once. From varying areas around him and different corners or roof tops figures would move in unison with each other till two other bodies would appear next to him each covered in a black and white symbiote suit. Grasping Silence once more and lifting it from the ground he would wield it with both hands the blade pointed towards Rikaro.

"Shall we begin?"

Rikaro stared at the Scythe that stretched to at least 2 meters. It seemed to look even more powerful since he himself was facing it. The two creature like things that appeared at Mortarion's side looked even more menacing than the Scythe that was extended forward. Why the hell didn't I just start kicking and punching a tree thought Rikaro." Maybe because deep in you, you actually wanted to test your power on the Raikage. You took it easy on the couple even if you did not know it. So Rikaro what would it be. Will you face the mass of power in front of you. Or are you going to be a coward and hide in the trees " said Mei the Yuumei within Rikaro. Every since he activated his Meigan his eye sight had gotten sharper he could see more chakra than before rolling off the man as well as his weapons and armor.  What would he do he thought. Would he charge the Raikage or would he cower behind the forest line. He continued to stare at the man. There was nothing about Rikaro that made him a coward and he was not going to become one now. He ran as quickly as he could at the man when he hit the 3 meter mark merely inches in front of the scythe blade. He would jump up avoiding landing on the Scythe turning his body in mid air arriving above the creature on the Raikage's left. Rikaro's right foot would attempt to land on the creature's head trying to shove it to the ground. 

Simultaneously his left foot would be going straight down for the right shoulder of the creature as it was 3 meters to the left of the Raikage the same distance the other creature was away from the man. If the attack would land Rikaro would push off the creature appearing 1 meter in front of it stating it down. By any chance if his attack should not land he would not know the outcome as he had to wait on the creature's movement.

As each body stood in perfect stillness they waited for the boy to either accept the challenge the Raikage was offering or he would back down and prove that maybe Mortarion was wrong for thinking that the male had more hidden potential than he had anticipated. He hoped however that he would be proven right and the boy would rise to the occasion no matter how daunting the task might have seemed. It seemed however like he was at war with himself thinking about what he should do, whether attack or not, or maybe he was simply just thinking about how to attack.

Then without any signs he started a rush forward, well it seemed like he had his answer then, the male would fully commit to attacking. The only question now is who he would attack, the Raikage himself or the two paths to the side of him, the choice was clearly all his and Mortarion would wait to see what it was. For a moment as the male ran towards him directly it seemed like he was attempting to attack Mortarion head on, very brave indeed. Shifting the scythe in his hands he would lower it ever so slightly to compensate for any attack he might have to use. As soon as he made almost attacking range Rikaro jumped up and to the left of him it seemed the male was attempting to attack the paths first and lower his odds of getting attacked from all angles.

A low burn was felt on his breast as the mark of decay began to glow a dark purple unknown to Rikaro. Epidemius was attempting to contact Mortarion through the endless chaos of the mind.

"If you do not kill him, I will increase the rot throughout your own body ten fold. If you think what you are feeling now churning in your stomach is hell just wait till I unleash the next plague. Kill him."

In the outside world the bijuu inside of him had taken control just briefly. The path to the left raised its hand upwards. As the males free falling body in the air grew closer a rod extended from the hand aimed to pierce the boys heart as he had no control of changing his direction in the air he would simply impale himself on the rod and his body would slump as it slid down the rod to his own arm.

"Leave my ninja alone, if you want to increase the pain on my body very well, do it, but they are not part of our deal. You are to attempt to kill me, not them"

Wrestling control back to his body Mortarion's eyes would catch the sight of Rikaro about to impale himself due to jumping without any air control. Sadly the decay prince had no time left to adjust the attack effectively. Instead he could only change the angle of the rod causing it to puncture the males foot completely. With being stabbed by the rod also came the second effect of the males body no longer being under his control as the rod carried Mortarions full chakra numbing the males body an cutting all control he had over it. Of course if the male could dodge mid air maybe something else would happen.
