Re: Train? Sore-thin! Get it?[NK, IO]

Sorethin had made a mistake, it was truly as simple as that. The mass assimilating of so many hearts at once legitimately caused his body and mind to enter a form of ‘shut down’ mode. It caused him to freeze up completely while he was still aware of his surroundings. So he heard what the girl had said, and see what the girl had done. Because of this the level of fury he felt when he could move again was unlike any he had ever felt. How DARE she steal from him. If that was going to be the case than fine, he would hunt her down and tear her limb from limb. But he had still seen everything she had done. From emerging from her shadow to demonstrating the shadow clone technique and applying that mark seal on his forehead. He couldn’t believe that he had let his guard down. He would simply have to keep in mind that in regards to his bloodline he would need to play it a bit more safe than before. At least when it came to integrating the hearts of his victims into his body. He had no idea his body would shut down on him like that when doing so many at once. It was definitely good information to have. Luckily he only needed one more so it wouldn’t be too difficult to get that done, and he hopefully wouldn’t freeze up afterwards for some target to murder him. He’d have to integrate the final heart in a safer place. This was all beside the point though. He had seen it all and heard every word the girl had said. Because of that it came as no surprise when Sorethin raised his fingers into the same cross shaped seal the eye patch wearing girl had made and channeled his chakra to astounding levels, forming the basis for the technique. All of a sudden of course, two clones popped into existence around him. They looked exactly the same as him and he clasped their hands, seeing that they were indeed solid. He noticed he felt as if his chakra had been split between them. That meant that could do jutsu as well. An interesting thought. He wonderd if the chakra returned when they dispelled? Could that help him learn techniques and train? The possibilities were endless. They looked at him expectantly before raising an eyebrow before he fired his threads at the and skewered them both. The normal puffs of smoke went off, showing that the technique dispelled properly. He noticed that he did feel his chakra reserves increase again. Showing that they did in fact return his chakra to him. He would also note that he had vivid memory of being torn into by his own threads. An interesting image, and one he didn’t want to repeat. But it did give valuable information. He could utilize them to scout and practice techniques that were a bit too dangerous for him to use himself. “Well that was easy…” He said simply before narrowing his eyes at the fact that the girl robbed him and sealed him. Of course he knew, he was still able to see and hear everything around him. He’d have to get her back later on. But that was an issue for another day. As it stood he needed to figure out a plan on where he could go for safety while he gained power and trained. He knew that he could become a true force to be reckoned with if he could train in peace for a time. He had a few options so he’d need to figure it all out before he could do anything. He had bodies to transport, as a couple displayed..interesting talents and he wanted to keep them around in case an opportunity presented itself to use them. They were stashed outside the market in a hidden place that he would go to retrieve them from when leaving, but of course he’d need to figure out where to go first. He began to think of the basic info that he had from when he was growing up with his parents on the run. Kiri would be a good option, but from their information it was a bit bloodthirsty and Sorethin needed peace, quiet, and protection to truly come into his own in terms of power. So he didn’t know if they would allow him any of those. Or if he would even be allowed to join them. Kumo was out of course. While he didn’t have too much information he knew it probably wouldn’t be safe for him either. Also while he didn’t know anything particular about it’s defenses his parents had told him that it was ‘dangerous’. So he’d rule that out.

As he considered his options he’d move toward the inn he had rented a room in and enter. The caretaker, or barkeep if you’d rather would nod his way and he would give a smile and nod back. Of course no one here knew he was a murderer and scum bag, not like it’d matter. This was the black market, one of the safest places for missing shinobi like him to come to and operate in. So long as he didn’t really break too many of the rules he would be relatively safe. Unless hunters came, and there was no reason for a hunter to come. All of his kills had been in secrecy, with absolutely no witnesses. He was worried that would change soon though, if he didn’t get somewhere safe where he could consolidate his power, find protection against such threats, he’d be in trouble, Kiri was out, Kumo was out. Sand was taken over by Kumo, that left either Konoha, or Hoshigakure. Konoha was a bit harder to get into if he could take what his parents told him seriously before he killed them. They said nothing about Hoshigakure though, that meant that it had potential. He nodded his head as he came to his decision and began to pack up the room. He didn’t carry much, as he didn’t have much space on his person. He quickly gathered a notebook he used for remembering interesting things he learned and moved out of the door. He left the Inn quietly yet quickly and moved toward the outskirts of town. He actually wasn’t far from the country Hoshi was in. He’d need to leave soon and hope he could find a place to keep these bodies. He’d move slowly out of the village at this point, the inn had been relatively empty so him moving rather quickly wouldn’t be noted. The streets however were rather crowded because of the fact that people were going about their business. This meant he needed to blend in, so he simply moved at a normal, sedated pace toward the town exit. He’d keep constant aware of his surroundings at this point, utilizing his chakra sensory to make sure he didn’t have any people trying to follow him out of the town that wanted to kill him. That after all, would lead to..difficulties. As he moved toward the edge of town he’d start gathering his water chakra to speed through a technique, just in case someone tried anything as he moved. If he felt even the slightest hint of someone being after him he’d flash through the seals and fire the jutsu the girl had taught him earlier. He’d fire it off and use the visual distraction to slip into the shadows and keep himself hidden. But he doubted it would be an issue. After all most people tended to be relatively safe here until they did something wrong themselves. Sorethin himself had done absolutely nothing wrong, so there shouldn’t be any issue.

At this point he’d be on the outside of the town, the evening sun would slowly be falling toward the horizon and he’d move toward his hiding place for the two bodies he had kept. The Crimson haired boy from his water heart, and the blonde haired fool from his fire. Both bodies were still relatively fresh. They had happened merely a day or two ago after all, but he needed to get the bodies into a storage device and he didn’t think the normal sealing technique would work on them. This meant he needed to move fast and try to find a way to seal them before entering the village of Hoshi. It’d look fairly bad if he was trying to get into their village with corpses over his shoulders. As it stood he generally took routes that didn’t involve roads to hide that little fact. He’d lift both bodies over his shoulders, and begin moving toward the direction of the the borders, intending to leave as quickly as possible. Both of these bodies would be useful, of that he was absolutely certain. So he would need to keep them close until he could seal them and get into the village.
