chuunin rank up mission (Cole, Kouse, Hikari, Sal)

Salzem watched as his friends eliminated the remaining threat with little to no issue. This was good. They seemed to be showing more and more Chuunin-like material as they went along. What he didn't expect was a wolf, coming out of nowhere and attacking one of the enemy ninja. Before Salzem could decide it was a threat, He noticed Hikari and the canine shared a look, one that seemed to indicate that they knew each other, somehow. Before he could congradulate his team on a job-well done, Kouse had brought one of the surviving ninja to him and asked what should be done with him. He looked into the ninja's eyes, a look of defiance within.

"I want him for questioning. Somehow, I don't think that was all of them." If Kouse released this Kid, Salzem would squat down so that he was at eye-level with him, Zeefalvora gently growling, hungry.

Kouse was ready to bash the ninjas head in if salzem said he didn't need to question him, but he did. 
Kouse brought him out, quickly breaking both of his arms with a power of 49(the fist rock wasn't used last post so using it now). 
Kouse wasn't in the mood for any surprises. The screams from the ninja was cut shot when kouse gave him a ruthless punch in his stomach with a power of 15..making him choke then dumping him unceremoniously at salzems feet to be questioned,if he needed anymore coaxing to talk kouse was more than willing to break more of his body. 
He would then look at hikari "hey nice work, you really hit those guys.. Could you please see if you are able to locate the remaining ninjas with your byakugan?" kouse would ask.

Cole easily defeated the ninja that attacked him, slicing down his ban and then stabbing him in the heart. Hikari was proud of her team and their ability to defeat these ninja with ease. She watched as Kouse threw the remaining ninja at Salzem's feet for interrogation, after he broke both the kids arms and forcefully punched him in the gut. She wondered if the ninja would tell them anything, or if he would rather die then give away any secrets. 

Hikari, before Kouse even asked, was already scanning the area with her Byakugan. They weren't behind them nor were they in front of them. Then she checked their sides, and found them. They really were no match against them and her Byakugan. "Cole, both of them are in the tree next to you." Knowing Cole could easily take care of the remaining two, she turned her head to speak to Kouse. "Thank you! Great job to you too!" Hey...I wonder how Mr. K is, I should ask!


Going off of her thoughts, she would then smile warmly at Mr. K, so as to not frighten him since they all easily and mercilessly killed eight ninja, "How are you Mr. K, feeling alright? I hope we didn't scare you with all this fighting.."

Mr. K, who turned around at the sound of his name, chuckled at Hikari, covering his mouth with his hand as he laughed. "I am feeling excelsnt my dear, please do not worry." With a sigh of relief she smiled at him. She was surprised he has said more than a couple of words, and happy that he wasn't frightened by killings.

Hikari turned her attention back at Salzem, waiting for their next orders which would most likely be to continue their mission. Mr. K also turned around, as their mini conversation had ended.

[WC: 3,212]

Cole was waiting for orders when Hikari told him that they other two was behind the bush behind him. Cole would make a hand sign with his hand not holding his sword, and say “thousand water needles of death” as he turned around. He would turn the moisture in the air around the bush into needles. He would then drive the needles into the bush's and screams could be heard. Cole would then walk over and stab both the boys in the heart with his katana. He would then walk back around the bush and over to Sal and Kouse who was throwing the one boy to Sals feet at the moment.

Cole would walk over to Sal and look at the kid he could tell that he was in pain. Kouse had broke both of his arm and then punched him in the gut. He would wait and see what sal was going to do to the boy. He wanted to know what the boy knew it was important that they knew were they enemy was so they could prepare. Cole would put his sword back in its sheath on his back and stand waiting to see what the boy was going to tell them.

(TWC-1987)

Salzem glared at Kouse as he snapped the kid's arms.

"That was not necessary, Kouse." Salzem's voice was cold and hard. He turned his attention back to the kid, expression blank. The kid seemed to have his arms bent at a terrible angle. His face contorted in pain only did this observation justice as Salzem squatted down so that he was eye level with this kid. He was shivering in pain, breath heavy. He met Salzem's blank expression with a snarl. Yes, his eyes were filled with Agony, but hate too, as if he had been wronged by Salzem and his group before now. He spat into the dirt, blood mixed in with his saliva.

"Your victory here means NOTHING!" He laughed bitterly. "You'll all die!"

Salzem gazed at him with an unimpressed expression. He just stared silently into the kid's eyes with his, before standing up and landing a kick to the side of the kid's head. Not strong enough to kill, but enough to cause him to fall on his side (and one of his broken arms) and cause him pain. He gasped, then whimpered and his body fell on his arm. He looked feverish, skin pale, sweat falling down from his brow, eyes unfocused. Salzem looked down at the kid, eyes hard and cold.

"Who else is with you? I know that this minor attack force isn't all. Tell me. Now." His voice was as emotionless and cold as steel. The kid lay shivering on the ground, bloodied, body broken but he stayed strong.

"Go... to... hell...." The kid growled through clenched teeth. Salzem just crouched down so that he was face-to-face with the kid.

"Oh no... You're already there." Salzem would then motion for his crew to move out. Salzem would begin his walk down the road. He was about 5 meters from the kid before he let out a moan.

"Wait....." Salzem stopped but didn't look back. There was a long silence before the kid spoke up again, voice raspy and feverish. "Please... don't leave me like this...." Salzem looked over his shoulder at the Missing Ninja. He was now on his belly, arms now a disgusting shade of purple, blue and brown around where Kouse had broken them. He seemed to be trying to writhe after them. Salzem shared a glance with everyone of his crew.

"What do you think we should do?"

Kouse saw the look salzem gave him and he frowned back not understanding until salzem told him breaking the ninjas arms were not necessary. 
Well I beg to differ kouse thought, breaking his arms were the logical thing to do, if he had any jutsu he could have performed he couldn’t now without his hands working, also no weapons could be used too by him. 
Kouse looked at the ninja and frowned at his antics to get them riled up. 
Your victory here means NOTHING!" the ninja suddenly spoke up "You'll all die!". 
Kouse used every ounce of self control he had not to rush him and ruthlessly kill him. 
Then salzem kicked the ninja, not hard enough for heads to fly but just for torture. 
Kouse's expression kept changing as the ninja and salzem went back and forth bantering. Salzem was about leaving him and continuing our journey until he spoke up, he wanted to talk, he didn't want us to just leave him like that all disgusting and messed up just for his friends to kill him. 
Kouse looked at salzem not smiling "I think we should force out anything he knows, but we need to keep Mr k alive at all costs, so I say we interrogate the shit out of him and put him out of his misery". Kouse would say to salzem. 
He hated them all, those types, when his father had been murdered he hadn't found those who were responsible so he had decided to take out that revenge by stopping as much people like them as I can. Kouse would smile at Mr k and at hikari and Cole, waiting for their own suggestions.

Cole was even more impressive than Hikari thought, easily turning the moisture around the two ninjas into needles that struck them. Then, as blood curdling screams could be heard, he walked over to them with his katana and stab them, quickly ending their young lives. That was the time she turned her attention to Kouse and Salzem. She agreed with Salzem that breaking the kids arms were unnecessary, as he was a weak ninja anyways he couldn't possibly have any useful jutsu that could harm them. Even with broken arms and internal bleeding, the ninja glared at Salzem with such fiery hate and determination, he wasn't going to budge so easily. Sadly, he didn't know Salzem, who really could careless if he got information or not, as the ninja would still have to be killed.

The ninja tried to be tough sounding as he said that their victory there meant nothing since they would all die. Hikari doubted the kid was right, but she knew that on every mission your life is on the line. She glanced at Kouse and saw he got quite angry at the words if the ninja. She didn't understand why, as they were just words that held no real truth to them. Salzem was utterly unimpressed and kicked the kid in the head, causing him to fall on one of his broken arms and cry out in pain. The kid told him to go to hell, and Hikari rolled her eyes at him keeping is tough guy act, as it wouldn't help him. Salzem motioned for them to head out, leaving the kid to his doom.

However, before they got any farther than five meters, he spoke up, not wanting them to leave alone and defenseless, easy prey for both humans and predators. She felt a little sorry for him, trying to move with his broken arms that were now grossly colored purple, brown, and blue. Salzem asked them what they should do, but Hikari was conflicted. She felt sympathy for the kid get their mission said to eliminate all threats.

"I don't know Salzem. Our mission said to eliminate all threats this time...We really should get going too though, we have barely traveled and if we wait too much longer it'll be dark by the time we reach our destination, considering we will probably have another fight or two." She hoped she made sense to them, and didn't sound crazy. They had already wasted too much time in that area, and they neded to head out to cover more distance before the inevitable attack two.

[WC: 3,643] [-2 ap total left 291]

Cole would walk back around from the bush and go and stand next to Sal. He looked down and saw the boys broken body, and then watched as he tried to still be a tough guy. Wrong move cole thought to himself. He didn't know what the boy was thinking but it wasn't smart to get on sals bad side like that. No sooner did the thought come to coles mind did he see sal kick the boy in the head moving him back a few feet. It wasn't hard enough to kill the boy but cole could tell that it did hurt and hurt quit a bit.

Sal would then motion for them to move on, and they didn't make it but a few meters before the boy cried out to them no to leave him like that. Sal would ask everyone what they thought they should do and kouse said that he thought that they should interrogate the shit out of him and then kill him. Cole knew that they didn't have the time to do that it would take to long to torture the information out of him. Plus that would just draw more attention to they area that they was in. Hikari made a good point that they didn't have time for it and it would be dark by the time they got to their destination. Plus the mission was to kill the missing nin that tried to stop them.

Cole had been practicing a new jutsu at home with his dad. It was a type of genjutsu that would allow you to interrogate people through their mind, and learn what they know. He figured that this would be the best time to try it out in the field. He would look at sal “I have a jutsu that I've been working on called the Time Reversal Jutsu that I think I could get the info out of him with. Plus it would only take maybe five minutes and ill know what we need to know” he would tell sal. He would want they others input on the idea but over all it was sals call to make.

If sal would give they okay cole would move back to the kid at a speed of 70. He would kneel beside him and make the Dog-Snake-Ox-Boar-Tiger hand signs, and then place his right hand on the kids head. He would then pear into the kids mind putting him under a reverse hypnosis. Cole would lean into the kid and talk to him “how many are their left of you here” he would ask?

“Their is four of us left” the kid would tell cole.

“what rank are they how strong are they” cole would then ask?

“3 of chuunin rank they work well together, and have some collaboration jutsu. Then there is a jounin level ninja that leads us he is the one in charge and sent us after you. They are all three very power full” the kid would say. It was about time and cole figured that he had gotten all of the information he could out of the kid. He would pull a kunai from his pouch and stab the kid in the heart ending his life quickly. He would then return to the they others with the info.

He would look at them and say “their are still 4 missing nin left out here that is coming after this guy. 3 of chuunin strength and 1 of jounin strength. The kid said that the jounin was really strong and that the chuunin used collaboration jutsu” cole would tell them. Cole knew that with the new information they had they would be a little more prepared for the upcoming battle. Now that they knew more about what was coming.

(TWC-2694
time reversal jutsu)

Salzem heard everyone's thoughts, but Cole's seemed to be the most profitable, allowing them to obtain valuable information and in short order. He nodded and motioned silently for Cole to get to work. Cole would run at a speed of 70 over to where the kid was, kneel next to him and proceed to extract the information as if extracting certain fruits from a bowl. Salzem followed him, keeping close so he could listen for himself. 3 chuunin levels, AND they are coordinated? Strange... who could be pulling these strings? It was just like before... And one Jounin behind it all, leading the pack. This was just about all the information they would need to go on for now. He was about to tell Cole that they could head out, before Cole pulled out a Kunai and aimed it at the Kid's chest. Alarmed, Salzem grabbed Cole's hand holding the knife and held it firm.

"He gave us what we wanted and he's incapacitated." Salzem reasoned. "There is no need to kill him. The threat has been eliminated. Not to mention we will need someone to show us where these ninja are hiding."

Having said that, if Cole would back off, Salzem would walk up to a tree and break off a few large sticks then take some cloth out from his back and make a make-shift splint and sling for the kid's arms. He would then proceed to break the Kid's arms in place, causing him to nearly faint in agony. He would tie the sticks to his arms with spare cloth and slip them into his cast. Having done this, he would weave his hands into 3 signs, Hare, Ox, Monkey, and the tips of his fingers would begin to glow blue with a ghastly blue flame. He would then inject his fingers into the kid's neck, injecting his Chakra Anesthetic into the kid's nerves, dulling the pain so that he now quietly whimpered. He would then drag him to his feet by the back of his shirt and shove him in front of the group.

"Lead us to them." Salzem would say in a monotone voice to the kid.

However, If Cole didn't back off, Salzem would treat him to his darkest glare. He would try to stare Cole down, get him to stop the bloodshed whether he wanted to or not.

(my apologies for the delay, had some technical difficulties) 

Folding his arms kouse looked on with a grim face. What time would be wasted, if you knew what to do a few pokes would get the already properly injured ninja to spit out whatever he knew eagerly.
Kouse knew he was not acting like he used to, this was his first chance to begin his life's goal, and that is getting animals like this who only wanted to harm and cause pain to others out of this world. Flashes of his father's lifeless body on the floor with several stab wounds passed through his mind. 
At hikari's words kouse nodded agreeing with her, leaving him alive wasn't an option, to him anyway. 
Kouse's eyes widened as he heard Cole's plan, well that was a pretty smart plan. 'Time Reversal Jutsu' eh?  Kouse smiled, it sounded cool, he hoped it would also be as cool as it sounds though. 
Observing intently kouse watched Cole. 
He watched as Cole moved quickly towards the injured ninja and perform Dog-Snake-Ox-Boar-Tiger hand signs. 
Kouse took a step forward as he heard cole's question being answered quickly by the now willing ninja. 
Frowning at the information he heard though.. 3 chunin level ninjas and a jounin Left!. 
Their fight had only just begun, and what? The chunins are good collaborating with each other?.
His frown turned to a smile well then, they would all have to really dig deep to defeat those four ninjas. His smile rapidly turned back to an even deeper frown when he saw salzem stop Cole from killing the ninja. 
'He gave us what we wanted and he's incapacitated' he heard salzem say 'There is no need to kill him. The threat has been eliminated. Not to mention we will need someone to show us where these ninja are hiding'. 
Kouse gritted his teeth angrily, he didn't see any real reason to leave that prick alive, the missions instructions clearly stated that all threats were to be 'eliminated' and he was pretty sure that meant killing them. And needing someone to show us where those ninjas were hiding? Kouse would look at salzem in surprise and finally speak up. 
"salzem, in my opinion he needs to be killed 'now' he's given us what we need and what made me not to instantly smash his head previously was to question him first before doing so, not letting him live so he would only just to heal up his injuries and go hurting someone else somewhere" kouse took a step towards salzem "and besides about him showing us where those ninjas are hiding, it's not needed, hikari has the byakugan, I have the sensory Technique, and I'm sure you and Cole also has something up your sleeves, and besides they would come to us, all we have to do is keep moving, we have what they want" kouse would point at Mr K "and they would come for him, all we need to do is keep travelling". 
He would then look away and down the path way "but it's still your call sal, your the leader here". 
Kouse would take the decision of sal whatever it was and continue moving, making sure he was alert to any surprise attacks.
