Mission for the strong(kisuke,kotsuzui)

A loud knock at the door woke kouse up. His eyes squinted..frustration at being made to wake up in such a manner made kouse hop off his bed and sprint towards the door. He opened the door forcefully, ready to send whoever the hell it was away. But on opening the door he saw that it was an anbu ninja that had knocked and also on said anbus hand he noticed a letter which he took.
He looked at the letter wondering what it was but before he could ask what it was the ninja had vanished.
Shaking his head kouse quickly tore open the letter and read.
'There is an urgent situation that needs to be handled as quickly as possible, you are required to join a team of other handpicked ninjas to complete this mission......
Kouse scanned through the remaining contents of the letter where the nature of the mission was stated in details.
A smile slowly appeared on Kouse's lips, he'd been idle for the past several days now and suddenly being given a mission from the kage was a God send.

Fifteen minutes later kouse reached the gates only to find out that none of the other so called handpicked ninjas were there...he was the first to arrive. Kouse frowned, was he too excited?, to the point that he had arrived too early? Or were the others just simply late?.

With his long black hair just about touching his waist being blown about by the breeze that passed through konoha, kouse would shrug his shoulders and wait patiently for the others to arrive.

Simultaneously Kisuke opened the door to his apartment as the Anbu standing outside his door was about to knock. Coming face to face with the taller individual who had a raised fist, the young Uchiha was startled to see he had guests. "How can I help you?" As Kisuke as he regained his composure, thoughts running through his head as he tried to recollect if he had done anything wrong that would warrant the arrival of an Anbu at his front door. The higher ranked shinobi lifted an envelope before Kisuke and stated that he had been assigned a mission. "Is that so." Kisuke though but accidently spoke out loud as he took the envelope and watched the Anbu leave the premises. Opening the folder, Kisuke would lean against the frame of his open door and scan through the array of papers provided to him. "An A rank mission, my first." Closing the folder and throwing it over onto the nearest table in his apartment, Kisuke stepped outside and started making his way over to his meeting point.

"Beats just walking around the village I guess." Kisuke though to himself as he walked down the street and popped a fresh cigarette into his mouth. Lighting it with a match, Kisuke waved his hand a few time to blow out the match before throwing it away. Donning his usual black leather jacket with a simple white t-shirt, black pants and boots and his Konoha head guard loosely tied around his waist, he final reached one of the many village gates that was set as his meeting point. 

With the light cigarette dangling from the edge of his lips, Kisuke ran a hand through his red dyed hair and said "Sup Kouse. Looks like we'll be doing our first mission together." Leaning against the village gate, Kisuke would take the cigarette out of his mouth and exhale a thin cloud of pale grey smoke. "Guess now we just wait." Having an idea who their next team mate would be, Kisuke asked his fellow Uchiha "Say, what did you do with that lighter you stole from me." Joking about the stealing part as Kisuke no longer wanted that lighter, he was simply making small talk while he waited.

375/375

"I should steal all your lighters" Kotsuzui's voice came out from behind Kisuke as he walked up beside his Uchiha teammate and put his left arm around Kisuke's shoulder. "All that smoke you're inhaling can't possibly be good for your poor lungs" added the Kaguya with a sly grin on his face. As Kotsuzui's long crimson hair which was tied into a pony tail, blew in the wind, he stepped aside from Kisuke approaching the fellow Konoha shinobi with Kisuke. Kotsuzui was dressed in a basic black kimono with a white outline, nothing on his feet, a white and thin scarf around his neck, and his Konoha plate strapped to his belt that held up his kimono, much like Kisuke was wearing. "Kouse is it?" Kotsuzui asked, though he knew it was his name because he overheard Kisuke say so. "The names Kotsuzui, Kaguya Kotsuzui. But you can call me Kotz" as the Kaguya put out his hand in a fist waiting for Kouse to bump fists with him.

"So I did not really read that document that was handed to me" Kotsuzui began, "too many words. Something about intercepting a meeting, there being guards, A ranked blah blah blah. Whatever it is, no problem for the two of us" he said with a cocky grin as he gave Kisuke a light punch on the shoulder. "Our fighting styles go hand it hand you see. He like using his illusions, I like getting up close and personal and beating people to a bloody pulp" punching his fist into his hand. "Before we get going it'd be good to know what you're capable of, you know, like what your preferred fighting style is. So when we get into a sticky situation, we can handle it nice and easy" finished the Kaguya. Kotsuzui's use of taijutsu and his Kaguya bloodline along with Kisuke fighting from far with his Genjutsus made them a deadly duo. Whatever Kouse could bring to the table would only make this team that much more dangerous.

Seeing kisuke, a fellow uchiha..someone who he had shared a bad experience with made kouse smile.
"Yeah it seems like we'll be going on this mission together but its not my first A rank mission... This would be my third in fact".
Kisuke's next question made Kouse squint his eyes as his mind took him back to when they had met earlier.
"Well, I think it should be somewhere.." Kouse was interrupted from completing his response by a ninja who by the way he placed his arm on kisuke's shoulder, a friend of kisuke.

"I couldn't agree more" kouse would say after listening to kisuke's friend said.
Kouse listened as the new fellow made the introductions.
Hmmm kaguya kotsuzui... A kaguya, and if my information I've read about them is something to go by he should be quite skilled in taijutsu, kouse thought as he met kotz fist bump with his own fist.

After listening to kotz kouse spoke up.
"So basically your a taijutsu specialist and kisuke is a genjutsu specialist.. A formidable combination alright" kouse folded his arms, with his ninjutsu specialty added into the mix they could really be a force to be reckoned with.
"Well you can say I'm a ninjutsu specialist, I've got a significant amount of ninjutsu techniques for different situations, mostly based on water and earth element,also including items and weapons I possess that can be used when things get desperate". Kouse would turn to face the gates.
"If the three of us works well with each other this mission should be a walk in the park".

After giving a moment in case someone had something to say kouse would continue.
"alright we've all read the details of the mission,and we know what we need to do and what our challenges are going to be...but firstly we need to find out their location" kouse would add if there was no interruptions "without further delay let's begin". After saying this kouse would begin walking out the gates, into the forest to begin their mission.

Still leaning against the gates of the village, Kisuke would glance at the Kaguya with squinted eyes as he did not appreciate Kotsuzui being so touchy and so close to him, especially since he reeked or alcohol all the time. "How many times do I have to explain to you idiots? My lungs are fine. It is a walk in the park for medics to heal them." Slipping the cigarette back into his mouth, the Uchiha would cross his arms and continue leaning on the gates as he watched Kotsuzui go introduce himself to Kouse. Kisuke would remain silent as he listened to Kotsuzui explain their long range close rang fighing styles and how they worked in union with one another. Kouse adding in his ninjutsu was the missing piece of the puzzle. So far everything seemed to be going smoothly. However until they saw who their enemy actually was all of this talk of working perfectly together remained exactly that, just talk. Putting it into real action is totally another story, once Kotsuzui and Kisuke have yet to do. 

Pushing himself off of the gate, Kisuke would walk up to his two team mates and say "I wouldnt say this is going to be a walk in the park." Slipping the cigarette out of his mouth and twirling it between his right middle and index finger, Kisuke continued "The report said that two A ranked missing-nin were hired. If that true then this isnt a joke. If they truly are A rank then they will sense us before we even see them so the element of surprise is automatically thrown out the window. So with that down, our only option is to hit them hard and hit them fast." Looking up at the position of the sun in the sky, Kisuke said "The meeting is taking place in a couple of hours." Looking back down he continued "We know where and when they are meeting so I say we get a move on. Discuss strategy on our way there." Taking his first steps into the forest, Kisuke would inhale from his cigarette once and start into the forest.

"Perfect" Kotsuzui replied after Kouse went on to explain what his specialties were. "Genjutsu, Taijutsu, Ninjutsu. What else can we ask for?". Kotsuzui turned his attention to Kisuke as he came in to add his two cents. It was a good thing he had, because Kotsuzui was not too sure of the exact details to the mission. With Kisuke's speech he now had a grasp on what the mission actually was. "If it was anything less than A-ranked missing nins than it would be a complete joke" Kotsuzui added in with a sly grin on his face, showing the cocky nature of his. Not having the ability to surprise the enemy was unfortunate for this three man squad, but Kotsuzui was not going to let it phase him. "Hit them hard and fast, my forte" Kotsuzui said as he whipped his thumb across the tip of his nose Bruce Lee style. 

The Kaguya followed Kisuke and Kouse out the village gates and into the forest while saying "Lead the way", for he actually did not know where this meeting was taking place, or who was holding the meeting. He was more concerned with the two missing nins and what kind of battle they were going to bring. The excitement from the battle to come was all he could think about. "I'm not usually one to come up with strategies but I think Kisuke should start off the attack. Put them both under an illusion, get them distracted. They may be able to see right through it if they really are A-ranked, but it may give Kouse and myself enough time to strike. The two of us will come in with everything we've got. What do you guy's got?" Kotsuzui finished, asking if they had any input to his strategy or if they had one of their own.
words: 307/645

yeah, your right kisuke, we've lost the element of surprise and we'll have to go all out to take them down head on".
looking at kotzusoi kouse would speak up "yeah your plan is okay and we can go with it...kisuke confuses them with his genjutsu, then we two attack them head on".
kouse would hop into a tree and wait for the others to follow suit before he ups the pace and starts running through the forest, hopping from tree to tree moving quickly to the location the meeting was believed to be held.
"in any case whereby our opponent becomes to strong for either of us, kisuke should offer some assistance."

the trio hopped through the forest in near top speed, the location where the meeting was going to be held was a ways off...and they had to cover that distance in a short time...it would be no problem for them though.

after 20 minutes of moving at top speed, kouse would finally land on a tree and stop, raising his right hand to indicate for the others to stop also. 
they were now very close to the meeting place of the criminals and they were supposed to keep moving but his instincts prevented him from going further.
not taking his finely honed instincts for granted, kouse quickly activated the chakra sensory technique... immediately he noticed two chakra signatures behind them, as he thought, they had been followed for awhile now...and kouse was certain they were part of the criminal organization, their chakra signatures were far too low for them to be an a rank missing ninja nor a ninja at all, they were just robbers, grunts sent out to keep watch for any strange activities in the forest that would compromise the criminal meeting being held, seeing as they hadn't yet sounded the alarm, they weren't still sure if they were a threat to the meeting being held.
kouse's eyes squinted but he didn't make any sudden movements that would alarm the two individuals still following them.
kouse, without looking back even once would jump towards the next tree, but whilst airborne he would take out two kunais, holding both with his right hand, and would quickly throw them backwards, hitting both targets behind them and killing both of them.
he landed on the tree "they had been following us for sometime, they must be scouts, if we had gone any closer to the meeting point they would have immediately sounded the alarm and maybe our targets might have escaped".
with a nod at kisuke and kotsuzoi, kouse would resume moving towards the meeting location.



(my apologies for the two weeks inactivity... college has been stressful so far and prevented me from posting...i'll be posting faster from now on though.)

"Yeah, that makes sense." Confirmed Kisuke as he agreed with Kotsuzui. Knowing that they would pick up the pace, with his thumb and middle finger Kisuke flicked his cigarette onto the ground and stepped on it to put it out. Twisting his foot a couple of times before continuing forward, the young Uchiha continued "You two shouldn't wait on me though. Like I said, the missing-nin will detect us before we have the chance to attack. Also, they may very will see through my Genjutsu initially. I can disable our primary targets though, that will be no problem." Kisuke added in that last part to make sure that his two allies remembered that their actual mission was to capture two high value targets and not to just kill whatever guards they may have hired to protect them. Now that the petty details were done with, Kisuke watched Kouse take off into the high branches of the trees at quite a fast pace. "Here we go." He mumbled to himself while simultaneously sighing and taking off into the trees after the Uchiha. 

Following from the back of the pack, Kisuke let Kouse lead the way and Kotsuzui be in the middle of the two as they swiftly bolted through the forest of the fire country. "Dont worry." Kisuke said in response to Kouse "I'll be providing back up to the both of you from afar but if needed I can jump right into the fray and hold my own."

Raising his eye brow in confusion when Kouse came to a halt, Kisuke would land in a crouched position two branches behind his fellow Uchiha. Remaining crouched, Kisuke would say as he watched Kouse unmoving "Whats going on, why did we stop?" However seconds later Kisuke's ear flinched as he though he herd the slightest sound of shifting branches and rattling leaves behind him. As Kouse made his move, Kisuke swiftly turned around to face the culprits who were following them and watched them die. Calmly, Kisuke would hop over to the branches where one of the carcases lay and search through his gear. Hopping back towards his allies Kisuke added in to Kouse's theory "They were lightly garbed with little weapons or equipment. Low level scouts I'd guess. Nothing to worry about, and if there are more of them at the meeting point leave them to me, they would be a problem to handle." With that said, Kisuke would wait for both Kouse and Kotsuzui to take off once again as he followed close behind.

424/1158

The two Uchiha's seemed to agree with Kotsuzui's plan. But as Kisuke added in, Kotsuzui and Kouse may need to make their moves first because if they wait for Kisuke their plan may not work due to not having the element of surprise on their side. Once that was discussed and decided, the three man squad moved out. Kouse lead the way because he both knew the path and was the higher ranked shinobi, technically making him the leader of the squad. Either way, he was likely the most qualified to do so anyways. Kotsuzui followed as Kisuke took the back, likely to provide long range support if they were to encounter anyone. 

Kotsuzui came to a sudden stop on a tree that was both beside and behind the one Kouse was positioned on when he signaled for a stop. Standing up right and on high alert, the Kaguya started looking around to see if something had caught Kouse's attention. The Kaguya could not catch sight of anything and Kouse jumped forward as if to continue to the meeting point but swiftly threw two kunais behind him. Following the projectiles, Kotsuzui came across two thugs who were just impaled by Kouse's weapons. They must have been scouts for the meeting and following us to see if we were headed there too. As Kisuke searched the body of one of them, Kotsuzui stayed on high alert in case there were any more or traps laying around, a bone blade slowly slipping out of his palm. Once all was clear and Kisuke returned, Kotsuzui slipped the bone blade back into his body. "I'm heading right for the 'A-ranked' one, I'm itching for a good fight" Kotsuzui said in reply to Kisuke as a sly grin spread across his face. With that Kotsuzui would follow behind Kouse as he left for the meeting point.
311/956

What kisuke found out after examining the bodies of the two fellows kouse had killed further validated what kouse had assumed...not that he wasn't sure of himself.

'I'm heading right for the 'A-ranked' one, I'm itching for a good fight'. Hearing this made kouse smirk as he kept up their fast pace...yeah he was excited too...he needed to vent some of the frustrations he had...it had been awhile he had the chance to go all out against an opponent...and the prospect of him finally getting the chance to do so made him smile. He hoped his opponent would be tough enough to make him work hard, to make him utilise his full abilities...to make him desperate.

A slight breeze passed through the forest, making the trees sway left and right slightly and Kouse's long hair fluttered about behind him as he led the group towards their target.

Before Arriving at the location where the meeting was to be held, kouse signaled for both kisuke and kotsuzui to mask their chakra signatures. 
"I'm pretty sure there are a whole bunch of scouts and guards surrounding the area where the meeting is being held, so we'll drop the pace and mask our chakra signatures, so more or less we are going to get as close as possible to the meeting without getting seen, possibly take out the guards while we are at it".
If they both agreed to his plan they would slow their pace and mask their chakra signatures.

They halted just before they got into the clearing where the meeting was being held...the organisation of said meeting made Kouse's eyes widen.
There was a huge round table at the centre of the clearing..with about a dozen chairs round the table...all occupied, with their respective personal guards right behind them. 
Kouse watched for a moment and shook his head slightly, criminals were getting too smart for comfort.
"Alright, what I think we should do is firstly take out the guards and scouts hidden in the nearby trees around the meeting,stealthily of course. Not letting the guys around the big table know whats going on...but with those damn A rank missing ninjas present..I don't think that would be possible so considering all that I'll say I and kotsuzui storm the meeting taking out as much as possible just after kisuke puts a genjutsu on them all...".
Kouse would activate the chakra sensory technique... Noticing over two dozen grunts surrounding the meeting area all hidden. This made kouse sigh.
" we might have our hands full handling the guys at the table..so I doubt we'll be able to get those hidden...they shouldn't pose much of a threat anyhow".

Kouse would take a deep breath as he prepared himself "so any other ideas?". He would wait patiently for either kotsuzui or kisuke to add an idea if they had...but if they didn't he would turn back to watch the meeting unfold.
" Alright kotsuzui, kisuke...we all know our tasks, let's begin".
