Forest Training (Closed)

The morning was cold as Spite walked through the forest. There was a fresh coat of dew on the grass, and the air was cloaked in a light fog. It was still early, the sun had barely risen. It was Spite's favorite time of the day, it was quiet which meant gave him time to be alone with himself. His parents had left the village today so Spite was left to train on his own. He didn't mind much, though he always felt like he could learn more when he trained with someone else. Spite walked around the forest for a bit longer, trying to find the perfect place to train. He took out a kunai, and began slash at the trees while walking past them, the blade digging deep into the bark. He did this mainly to find his way back home after his training, it was easy to get lost in the thick forest. After walking for about twenty minutes he found an opening in the forest. It was a circular formation surrounded by trees, with a single massive tree in the center of the area. "This is perfect," Spite thought to himself. He walked towards the tree in the center then leaned against it, sliding down until he was sitting at the base of the tree. "Guess now's a good time for lunch," Spite said to himself as he pulled out a sandwich from his backpack. He needed to build up his energy before he began his training.

Kuro strolled into the forest with a smile on his face. The weather was feeling great and the gentle moisture on everthing felt a lot better than the dry arid desert area he'd left behind him. Vixie was even in a better mood, weaving around trees, diving in and out of bushes and shaking the dew out of her fur. Water certainly feeling like a blessing after all that sand. It was like heaven to them. Enough so, that Kuro couldn't help reaching into his chest and pulling his guitar from his liquid inventory, giving the strings a few strums before taking a deep breath and beginning to sing.

"Life and Death and Love and Birth
And peace and war on the planet Earth.
Is there anything that's worth more,
than peace and love on the planet Earth."

As he sang he created a water clone next to him, perfectly fine with wasting chakra just for the extra voice to sing along with him.


"Life and Death and Love and Birth, Life and Death and Love and Birth
And peace and war on the planet Earth. 
Is there anything that's worth more, Is there anything that's worth more
than peace and love on the planet Earth?"

As he sang with himself, Vixie would stop and look to her right, sniffing the air before walking around a tree to find a boy sitting on the other side eating a sandwhich. She would tilt her head as she looked between him and the food, trying to judge how easily she could steal it.

Orokana was yawning when he saw the strange person with a....a cat. And they where singing, as much as Orokana came to this forest to train this is the first he saw them. Strange, I have seen everyone here. Who arthey I wonder. Orokana yawned again and walked over to the boy, standing behind him. He poked the guy with the bunny. "Hello, I haven't seen you around, who are you?" Orokana said trying to be friendly but came off kinda annoyed. Just in case Orokana needed it he started storing chakra he figured he will need it so might was well get ready, hell best case seniro he can use his new jutsu

(OCC: Hey guys thanks for posting! I'll reply tomorrow it's a little late here.)

Kotsuzui was rarely ever awake this early in the morning. He was usually passed out somewhere in the village after having gotten drunk in some bar. But this morning was different. This cold morning the Kaguya found himself wondering the forest surrounding the great village Konoha. Dressed in his usual get up of his black kimono and nothing on his feet, he added a white scarf given to him by his mother to deal with the colder than usual weather. The Kaguya went jumping from tree to tree in search of someone. The last time Kotsuzui was in the forest he encountered a very strange person, one that seemed threatening but also trustworthy as he was really the first person to train Kotsuzui. But ever since that time Kotsuzui has never seen the man again. So this morning, he came here in hopes of finding the man or at least the man finding him.

The Kaguya came to a sudden halt on top of a high tree branch when he heard the sound of scratching, almost like someone was cutting trees. Adjusting his head to the side, Kotsuzui caught sight of a boy walking past the trees and into a large clearing with only one tree in the middle. Kotsuzui decided to stay hidden within the trees and observe the kid, see why he was out here. Though with further inspection, Kotsuzui noticed that the kid was just having his lunch out here. "Doesn't this kid know any better to be out here, it's dangerous" Kotsuzui thought to himself, but Kotsuzui had also done the same thing not too long ago. Something else caught Kotsuzui's attention, almost as though someone was playing music. With the mass amount of trees the sound was being muffled, but Kotsuzui could clearly hear someone singing and playing music. The trees were also blocking a view to whomever this person was. Deciding to take a closer look, Kotsuzui continued to make his way from tree to tree while staying hidden from sight. He quickly came upon two people who looked exactly alike singing and playing guitar, while what seemed like a pet followed and some other kid stood behind him while introducing himself. "What, everyone decided to come out into the forest this morning. Maybe he'll be here too" Kotsuzui said to himself, as he decided to stay in the trees and see how everything played out.

Spite continued to eat his sandwich, enjoying every bite. Off in the distance he began to hear something, "Is that music?" he thought to himself. He continued to eat his sandwich ignoring the music as best as he could. Eventually the music had gotten close enough to him that he heard someone singing along to the tune. "So much for peace and quiet," Spite said. He looked over towards the direction he'd assumed the minstrel was coming from, waiting for someone to appear. "Who's there?" Spite shouted hoping the person was friend not foe.

Kuro stiffened and absorbed his guitar into his palms as he turned around to face the person who touched him. "Oh, h-"
He found himself interupted as another voice called out, asking who was there. It seemed he'd ended up in the middle of two strangers again. "Heh, didn't realize I'd be running into an audience here. I'm Kuro Hozuki, the hydral minstral. Pleasure to make your acquaintances."
He would nod to each of the people near him as his water clone melted into a puddle. 

Vixie meanwhile, moved aside and froze before sniffing the air again and looking up in the tree towards Kotsuzui, noticing his presence and keeping her eye on him as she made her way back to Kuro, her focus letting him know there was someone else nearby.
"And this is my companion Vixie. Gotta be honest though, feeling a little ganged up on here."

Orokana looked back and saw spite eating his lunch, then looked at Kuro, then at vixie. and then sighs. "this looks like a bad show to be eating luch too, and you, bunny funny, why a bunny, i mean is your trying to kill you enemies with cute and cuddly your winning but i mean i seen better, and weren't you playing music? what happened to that?" Orokana was being kinda an ass but he wanted to see how they respond, if they got physical he knew they were asses and he would take notes on them, if they didnt do anything then they were kind and he still would take notes on them, but he kept his oeye on them, waiting for a sign of something going south.

It seems Kotsuzui's hiding skills were not good enough to hide from the fox. "So much for that" Kotsuzui said to himself as he knelt down on the tree branch he was on. He was still a little confused as to how the kid managed to suck his guitar into his own body. His clone falling into a puddle of water informed the Kaguya that this person could use water jutsus. But what was his secret to getting rid of his music instrument? Was his body some kind of portal to another dimension? Whatever it was, it made Kotsuzui suspicious of the kid and he was going to have to be on heightened senses in case anything else happened. He introduced himself as Kuro Hozuki and his pet fox as Vixie. The other kid did not introduce himself as Kuro had, but went on talking about nonsense. Kotsuzui did not pay much attention him. Jumping down form the branch, Kotsuzui landed onto the ground in a bent over position before standing to his full height. 

"There's only a number of reasons why you would feel ganged up on" Kotsuzui began in response to Kuro's comment, "and one of those reasons would be if you're not from around here." Scanning Kuro's attire, Kotsuzui could not find a symbol that would indicate where he came from. As a matter of fact he could not see any on the annoying kid beside Kuro either. "I have this Konoha plate here" he added as he tapped on the Konoha plate attached to the belt holding up his kimono. "Where are you from Hozuki? And what brings you to Konoha's forest? You wouldn't feel threatened if you were from around here. You too kido" referring to Orokana, "Why are you here?" At this moment, because no one had anything to identify where they were from, he could not trust any of them. Including the one eating his lunch.

(OCC: Sorry for the delayed post guys. Just got back from a week long trip)

Spite put his sandwich down, kunai in hand, and began to walk towards the direction that the music was coming from. The tune had drawn him in but he still needed to be on his toes just in case, there was always the possibility of danger. As he walked closer, Spite noticed that the music had suddenly stopped, he took a closer look into the thick forest only to see a group of men standing in the area. To his knowledge there were three of them total. One, whom Spite assumed was the one playing the music, was accompanied by a fox-like creature. He quickly hid behind a tree, hoping not to be noticed right away. All of the sudden the guitar the guy was holding absorbed into his body. "What...The hell?!" Spite thought to himself. He had never seen anything like that before... Spite observed the other two men, the one with short, dark hair he did not recognize, however Spite had been secluded from the village because of his "Over-Protective" parents and didn't really know that many people. And last but not least he saw the last man come down from a nearby branch, he was taller than the rest, and had longer red hair. Still...Spite didn't recognize this man either, but he was sporting the Konoha headband so he must have been an ally. The taller man seemed to be concerned with the weird, guitar player, Spite wasn't sure if this guy was an enemy he knew, or if it was just a coincidence. Spite continued to hide himself behind the tree, waiting for the man to answer the red hair shinobi.
