Good Guys Teaching Bad Guys (Open)

Taishi would be making his way towards Tornado Country. The warrior was happy to be out of the frigid cold of this land, and he would be more relaxed and stretch out a bit. It was a nice reprieve from being huddled up in his cloak wishing he were somewhere warmer. 
 
Walking down the road, he would see two people off in the fields. From this distance the man couldn't make out any features, but after looking around he noticed that nobody besides his group and those two were around. Did they come out here to get some privacy? Or was this something else? Taishi would motion to Ryal (if he had tagged along) that maybe they should investigate. It was nonverbal, but he suspected the other was able to get the message. 
 
Taishi would make sure to keep to the trees, moving tree to tree and using them as cover as he crossed the field towards where the others were at. This should help block their sight and allow the warriors to move in a bit closer while listening in for any clear signs of what was going on. Perhaps a few loud words, or a scream for help maybe. Who knows? Maybe they were both there for some... fun. If they were caught with their pants down it may lend advantage to himself and Ryal if they needed to fight or threaten anyone. 
 
As the distance was cleared, he would note that there were two of them. They seemed young, but that didn’t mean much in this world. He has encountered people half his age that were more capable than himself because of their training. He wasn’t going to allow their ages to disarm him or make his guard go down.
 
He heard them speak of elements and specialties. Maybe they were here for some sort of practice. The brutish man would simply watch for a moment, seeing exactly what was going on before making any rash decisions.

As previously planned Ryal was traveling to Tornado Country with Taishi. He was more than happy to be escaping to warm temperatures although before they left he had purchased a new outfit better suited for the weather. It was anything really fancy just a dark blue long sleeve turtleneck shirt with matching dark blue pants. The hem of the pants was wrapped in white bandages as well as the length of his forearms. Along with black closed in shoes, the male now had a pair of black fingerless gloves covering his hands, possibly redundant but they were stylish. On top of that was a sleeveless navy coat lined with white fur that stopped just above his ankles. His bun cover was a super pale gold with a feathery white lace wrapped around it, reaching the middle of his back just as before. Nothing too fancy just something slight, his pearl necklace still laid on top of his clothes front and center with his under eye "beauty marks".

Like his partner, the blue haired male noticed the only other people in the area. Taishi wanted to get a better look but Ryal already knew they wouldn't be anyone he was familiar with. Still, he sulked around the treeline, normally if he was alone he would check for headbands and if there were none he wouldn't mind being seen. No one really had the balls to approach him and he had a feeling that his counterpart had also been on that end of the stick. However, he had led the pair rather close, so close in fact that they could hear the conversation being had by the strangers. The girl or long haired boy, Ryal didn't know for sure since he'd been mistaken for female before and this child was prepubescent, had stated that she was a genjutsu specialist with an affinity for water. Genjutsu huh? The male thought to himself while looking at her rather dark eyes.


"Should we go make even more friends?" Ryal whispered to his partner in a tone that was meant to be playful but could be confused with mischevious.

More talk of elements and specialties. Taishi wasn’t entirely familiar with the details of it all, but he knew the basics. She said she specialized in Genjutsu, which were techniques that tricked the mind into seeing or thinking about things that weren’t there. So essentially, it was the tool of the deceptive. Surely it was an effective means to combat, as confusing and disorienting an opponent is always useful.
 
The boy though, he seemed to focus on other styles of techniques. Ninjutsu was something Taishi was familiar with, though he hadn’t known much about “space and time” abilities, and while he was familiar with what sealing jutsu were he didn’t know much more than the most basic of things in regards to it.
 
The two appeared to be training, and Ry suggested that they go and make some new friends. “You never know when a friend could come in handy,” was said as Taishi would step out from behind the cover of the trees and approach, seeing the boy use what looked like some sort of clone jutsu. One was handling the sparring while the other began to… disrobe? Taishi really wasn’t sure what the guy had in mind, but maybe there was some sort of reason for taking off the majority of his clothes.
 
The one sparring was kicking the hell out of a younger girl. Taishi wasn’t sure what she did to deserve such a beat down, but this was the strangest training that he had ever seen. Was he just trying to improve her pain tolerance? Without being able to make any moves of her own, she wouldn’t learn anything other than how to handle an ass-whooping. The two were CLEARLY nowhere near one another in regards to sheer ability as the young man was moving so fast that Taishi was barely able to see his movements, and he did it all seeming so casual.
 
“Ahem,” Taishi would say, making his presence clearly known. “Is this some sort of teaching, or does she owe you a rather large sum of money? Rather rough, don’t you think? I would be surprised if her ribs weren’t cracked.” Taishi knew that the man before him was too fast to handle if he decided to attack him, but he couldn’t stand idly by and watch a young girl get the shit kicked out of her mercilessly.
 
“The strongest tools are formed in the hottest flames, but if you overheat the metal it will merely shatter when truly tested as it will have grown brittle and weak.” Taishi would say aloud, hoping to speak some sense into the young man.
 
Taishi would note that she too had funny, improperly colored eyes. These ones were red, different than the golden “lizard eyes” of Ry. It seemed like this world would grow stranger and stranger by the day. There were simply too many things the warrior simply couldn’t wrap his head around.

(I'm p. sure I read something that said Ryu is 13 but I might've been delirious lol And since your char app is non-existant I'm just going to assume he looks like a young Neil Patrick Harris.)

Hearing the blond boy say he specialized in space-time ninjutsu caused Ryal's ears to perk up, the kid even knew fuuinjutsu. What's an educated boy like this doing out alone in the world? The blue haired male thought to himself as the kid went on to say that he participated in a joint jounin exam. However that only caused more confusion for Ryal, the leaf and the sand were allies. Why didn't he go there when Suna was attacked if he didn't want to join Kumo's ranks? The question would have to wait for now as he went on to say he could manipulate fire, wind, and a clan element. The man was definitely interested now, from a distance the two seemed to be two sides of the same coin. If Taishi didn't want to speak with them he could wait here while Ryal found out more about the kid.

Ryal observed the hand seals the blond kid weaved hoping for a demonstration of his clan's element but nothing happened. Following that he would create a clone to fight the girl while the real him would foolishly stare at the sun before stripping. Contrary to what would be "normal" or expected, Ryal wasn't confused by the boy's actions. He, in fact, had done the same during his own training, in his mind, he had disrobed to keep from overheating or searing his clothes. Which was smart because the particular place the quartet was standing in was unusually hot for them to still be in the Land of Iron. Once the clothes had been shed the boy went right back to weaving the hand seals. At the same time, his clone swiftly tripped the girl and then punched her in the stomach as he helped her up. It also taunted her for being weak, was that supposed to be motivational?

For someone who couldn't keep up with the blond's movement, it seemed that the boy was being rather harsh. Although the girl was crying or whining about what he had done so perhaps she was used to it, from him or someone else. When the girl rose for a second time those dark eyes of hers had turned red minus three black tomoe confirming Ryal's previous suspicion. Luckily she didn't know that he and his partner were there so the golden eyed god wouldn't be caught in a visual genjutsu. Not that the girl was likely capable of cast one over their distance. It was one thing to see an illustration in a book but in person, it was way cooler. I guess his words really did get to her. The male thought to himself while glancing at his partner.

Hearing his reply to the question Ryal asked the tall male smiled. Following Taishi out into the field, he wished that he had somewhere to put his old outfit. He had briefly thought about leaving it in one of those trees but didn't want to risk them being stolen if the pair were invited to join in this training session. The Shinkou would grin at how his partner introduced them, he was serious but it was still a weird way of asking. The blue haired male would even continue the grin through Taishi's wise words, this could be misconstrued as the words being sarcastic but Ryal didn't care. Friendly or not a fight was a learning experience and he wouldn't mind going up against the girl. Not that he was choosing the weaker of the two so he wouldn't have to work that hard he just wasn't the one to address the boy. However, if a negative response was given he wanted to be prepared so he searched through his mind. Forming the rat and dog hand seals a small spacial tear would appear below his hands and he would let the bundle of clothes fall into it.

(Ryu is 15, only difference between NPH and Ryu is that Ryu is tan. But he is also short for 15 at 5’2)

As Ryu dodged Brooke’s blade he would see as two people stepped out from the treeline. As the girl slashed once more the jounin would grab her wrist before the kunai touched his body and yank her forward, pulling her behind him and onto the ground. As they got closer before speaking and started yelling at the treeline he would merely watch them and keep an eye on Brooke using his peripherals. It seemed the old guy had a few questions about the training the two were undergoing.

“Just training, her ribs are fine I hit hard, but not too hard.” His next words would be directed at Brooke. “Friends of yours?” He would ask though that was unlikely as they had called her that girl. As the old dude continued to flap his gums though the boy began to get annoyed. “Are you trying to tell me how to train someone?”

“Kick his ass clone me!” The real Ryu would say listening to the conversation. Making more hand seals, producing a jet of pink flame like the last time. He clearly gave no care that he was in his boxers at the time as he continued to do his thing without worry. He also would look at the two as he continued in case things got shakey.

“Why don’t we just let them join us, how else will they find out how good my training is unless I show them.” Perhaps his methods would be extreme in the safety of a village, but in lawless places like this. You needed power and fast, Ryu had power already there was no worry when he came to this place. Brooke however was weak and the weak were eaten alive. Especially the kind with magic eyes, this method was to show her just how truly weak she was and get her angry to produce results. “You two why not join my training maybe I can teach you some jutsu that Brooke can’t learn.” He would say beckoning them to come forward.

If they didn’t well then catching them wouldn’t be that hard most likely unless they were jounin like him. In which case the real Ryu would run to Brooke and teleport away leaving the clone to fight. He could test out these two with that easily enough. The old guy was the one Ryu kept his eyes on surely someone in their twenties was at least a B or even S rank. Koroshi was like nineteen and a kage.
