Forest Training (Closed)

The Hozuki had a point, there was no reason to tell Kotsuzui how he had gotten rid of his guitar. It would only give away his tricks, which in this case was wise for him to keep it to himself. Kotsuzui had to respect him for that. For now he would just have to stay alert on his toes. "I'd rather..." Kotsuzui began but was quickly interrupted by the appearance of someone new proclaiming the forest was safe, protected by those who live within the boarders. Kotsuzui raised an eyebrow as he turned his attention to the female shinobi who literally came out of no where. Her armor and ability to conceal herself so well made Kotsuzui worry that she may be way out of his league, no one wears armor like that unless they're just straight up bad ass. It seems she knew the Hozuki, maybe she was a part of this secret group that the Hozuki could not speak of. She moved behind him, also greeting Orokana. Had she and the Hozuki played some part in Orokana ascending to a Genin? and if so does that mean they were affiliated with Konoha? All this day had was questions and questions, and yet none of them were answered.

The one who had been eating his lunch asked what brought everyone out here, which Kotsuzui also wanted to know. "So you two know one another, and you also know him" Kotsuzui said nodding his head over to Orokana. "Based off of what you said...um, Crow Lady, I assume you are affiliated with Konoha in some way? I also assume you referred to yourself as 'that which lurks'. And if you two helped this one become a genin, that must mean Konoha recognizes you two. So I guess all i really have to ask... is what now?"

Spite continued to stand in the group of shinobi, not quite knowing what was going on. He had spoken his mind but it appeared that everyone's attention was focused on something else. Spite stood there silently looking around, trying to figure out what everyone was looking at. "Um...Guys? I'm not sure what we are looking at..." Spite then heard Kotsuzui call out to someone in the distance, he looked up and spotted the person that everyone had been looking at. It was another shinobi, one he didn't recognize at all. Apparently Spite's reconnaissance skills weren't as sharp as the others, another thing he needed to work on. The stranger was wearing armor of which he had never seen before, it was majestic, yet intensely intimidating. The stranger also mentioned that the forest was indeed safe, and judging by the tone Spite could tell that the stranger was a female. Indeed the forest was dangerous, well, dangerous if you were close to the borders that is. "Hey!" Spite said shouting towards the female ninja. "Who are you?" Spite's curiosity tended to get the better of him from time to time.

Kuro's eyes lit up at the sight and sound of Kira's sudden appearance, his emotions jumping from nervous to ecstatic in a heartbeat. If it weren't from the guitar in his hands and the people all around him, he likely would have immediately tried to hug her. Vixie however wagged her tail at the sight of Kira, able to sense her intent to help Kuro out of this jam. "Kira! Oh my god! I missed you so much on my travels! Guys, this is Kira, she's the best! She's basically my boss!"

At this point Kuro recalled that Kira didn't know anything about his travels since, well, she hadn't been with him. Which meant that he could show off what he'd been working on while he'd wandered. His music and his secret weapon. Both of which he was rather proud of. So, Kuro began to start strumming the strings of the guitar while building up a large amount of chakra filled water in his chest, slowly compressing it into a large circle within himself. 
"She's from the land of snow,
and I think you should know,
she needed to leave that place,
and take her friends somewhere safe~.


And a few might say she's a criminal,
but her friendship comes through subliminal~.
Kiranomo, being weak meant I had to flee
but now I'm glad you helped train meee~"

Kuro finished his short song and absorbed his guitar again, this time pulling it into his left arm as he windmill'd his right arm, stopping with it in the air. The thick water he had stored into his lifted arm, pouring out of his wrists and slowly gathering near the back of his hand. He clenched his fist as the water molecules shot up together his hand, merging as he brought his fist to his chest and creating a large blue shield with a circumference of 4 feet, a white star in the center. Once it was created he lowered his arm to his side with a grin as he looked to Kira. "And take a look at what Kiru helped me come up with. It'll help me keep up with powerhouses like you... maybe not speed-wise, but I'll definitely be tougher!"

"Heh. Hullo little light. I assume you informed Kiru you were l..." She turned as the girl released her chakra supression, her eyes currently in their normal form and unable to see past the tricks that had kept her hidden. She barelly glanced at the girl summoning chakra, holding back a snicker before turning her attention back to the group before her. Through her chakra sensory she'd continue to watch the newcomer, keeping tabs on what she was about to do. Her chakra wasn't terribly, but it would not stand up to her own and as such the display would fail in it's attempts to cause fear. Forming the seals quickly, unless something stopped the actions, she'd touch her hands to the ground, repeating the process quickly to call forth the twin drakes from their place in the Faewilds.

The moment they appeared they did exactly what was expected. Su spun in midair, noticing the tiny fox and zipping downward to dance about the pet in mid air, excitement clear on her scaled face. Des however let out a disinterested groan flying the short distance to Kira's lower back and crawling up under the cloak. ~Des'na. If you're going to be a spoil sport you can at least gift me energy.~ She wasn't sure why she expected that the black drake would be as excited as the Su to see the small fox. Either way they were required to be summoned in pairs, Su'na getting ancy if her sister was not there.

"Well one out of two is never bad. I've gotten a few new tricks in our time apart little light, including these two. I'm sure I'll show you eventually." Turning her glance back towards Anri once more to ensure she wasn't making what would be a very unfortunate decision she then responded to what she assumed were Konoha shinobi. "I am that which lurks. You may call my simply the Hell's Angel. " Behind the raven mask she'd study each for a moment, her eyes finally shifting to the eternal mangyeku sharingan. None of them seemed particularly powerful which wasn't surprising. She'd seen quite a few weaker in the borders of late.  

"I am currently a silent protector of the villge hidden in the leaf. This one is a student of mine... Or more so a student of my student I should say. The other I met just outside the forest. I called in a favor to ensure that after teaching him the basics his paperwork would be quickly processed. I'm glad to see it worked. " Her stance would be calm as she spoke, her stature impressive both because of her demeaner and the equipment on her person. The long black cloak bore the symbol of her home clan, A large silver inlaid symbol of the nara clan filling up most of the center of her back. Hanging from her neck was a silver chain with the red symbol of the hyuuga clan on a silver pendant that set at the top of her solar plexus. Hanging loosely from the armor was the trademarked fishnet undershirt of the nara clan, with a senbon laced into the holes on each arm, sitting tightly in the netting to stop a few inches from her wrists, each tinted slightly black as if they were coated with something.

The final noticable bits would be the bag set at her side, a light grey hempen messenger bag that looked quite full with bits of wire hanging down from the flap and at her belt were two empty dagger holders that seemed to glow slightly with a green light. were anything to interupt her, she would naturally act in kind to that which stopped her.

"That's no way to ask who someone is" Kotsuzui said as he turned to Spite after yelling at the Crow Lady. Yelling at someone you did not know wasn't a very smart thing to do, especially when that person could easily out class you. Kotsuzui only assumed she could outclass Spite because of her ability to conceal herself so easily, a feat Kotsuzui had not yet learned. Kuro revealed the name of the Crow Lady, Kira. Guessing from his tone of voice, the two were well acquainted. Then he went on to do the exact thing Kotsuzui did not want to hear...sing. "Shoot me now" the Kaguya said to himself, not sure why Kuro felt the need to sing. However what he did next grabbed Kotsuzui's attention as he was now quite intrigued with the Kuro. Within moments, Kuro had created a shield of water from what seemed to come out of his own arm. "Is his body made of water!?" Kotsuzui asked himself, which would explain how he absorbed his musical instrument. Unless it was a space-time skill and Kuro had water reserves hiding somewhere beneath his clothing.

Kotsuzui's attention shifted yet again as Kira created two dragon like creatures, probably a summoner like the Kaguya's own teammate. "Well now I know your name is Kira" Kotsuzui said in reply to her proclaiming what they can call her, "but if that's what you wanna be known as I'm cool with it." After listening to Kira speak, Kotsuzui felt as though she were telling the truth. But he was not certain on whether she could be entirely trusted, maybe that would come with time. "Kuro here mentioned how he was apart of a group but he could not speak about it. Are you apart of this group?" the Kaguya asked, hoping she may be capable of providing answers. "If so, do you care to tell me about it, or can you not speak about it either?"

ooc: Anri, I'm not ignoring your posts, my character just isn't capable of detecting chakra n_n

Spite replied towards Kotsuzui, "Sorry, I just feel a little out of the loop here is all. Just wanted some answers." It was true Spite did feel a little left out of the group, he couldn't compete with the likes of these other ninja. Suddenly the minstrel pulled his guitar out and began to sing once again, this time playing a song about the female ninja up in the branches. Apparently her name was Kira, she was in a sense the teacher to the teacher of Kuro. Spite looked up at Kira who had summoned two small drakes, "Interesting, I've heard about summoning techniques but I've never actually seen it in action." he thought to himself. Spite watched in awe as one of the drakes had flown down towards Kuro's fox companion as if to greet a long lost friend. He then looked back up at Kira who's eyes had shifted to a reddish hue. "Is that??.." Spite spoke out for a seconded before collecting his thoughts. He knew about the Sharingan, his clans Kekkei Genkai, but how was she able to obtain it? He could be mistaken however, Spite himself of course had not yet unlocked the great ocular power of his clan. Spite decided to keep his mouth shut and let the events carry on.

Vixie's tail gently wagged side to side as the small dragon flew around her, watching to fly around and occasionally hopping up slightly to try and poke the scaled creature with her nose. Kuro smiled at his furry friend's playfulness and looked to his shield, gently tossing it up into the air where it bursted into a fine mist and flew back to Kuro, being absorbed into his body once more. He then looked around at everyone before stopping his gaze on Kira. "So, now that Kira's here I think we can all agree that fighting is completely pointless. I mean, less pointless than it already was. It is, negative points. Besides, I've been here before, helped a bunch people train. My abilities make me a pretty good sparring partner, plus with my new shield, I should be able to let people give their all with whatever they want to throw at me. In fact, I'd be happy to spar or train or whatever with you guys later. I just need to get some stuff sorted out before I start doing whatever I want again."

"I lead a group dedicated to the eradication of an ancient evil raised again. We call ourselves Koukan." She simply nodded at the boy, hoping that answered the boy's question. THe dragon landed after a few moments, it's excited jowl nuzzling against the fox despite it being quite a bit larger then the small blue drake. Kira was glad to see Su having a bit of fun of course. It'd been so long since they'd done anything but train. Perhaps she'd visit the bath house once she was allowed back in the village.

"Yes they are. " She responded calmly to spite, her smile creeping further across her lips. This was the first time someone had recognized the demon eyes implanted in her head, and at their elevated level it was quite a bit more surprising. "And Kuro. many things may be decided through fighting, though the resolution to take someones life in battle should be reserved for dire situations. It's better to survive to learn a lesson and increase your strength then to have the blood of another on your hands, unless there is no other option." She thought back to the handful who no longer drew breath because of her strength and her smile slowly faded.
