The disgruntled Few [Open to 3]

Lazily, the Hyuuga looked upon the Sarutobi. Her display towards him left him puzzled. One brow risen, the other furrowed. Lilac eyes would bounce from her eyes to her mouth, only to return to her eyes. It was clear that she was putting on a farce before him, her words of him following her everywhere made no sense. The teen couldn't help but to release a soft and gentle chuckle. To his delight, Blaisa...didn't really change much. "You're still as annoying as you look. Now I'm more eager to be done with this errand." There was a soothing feeling that washed over him as he looked at her. Though his stern expression revealed his clear irritation by her, within he couldn't really make out what he was feeling towards her. Fluttering in his gut, made him feel nervous... but why?  

That was to be explored and discovered at some other time, as of now, it was time to depart. Readying himself to leave in Ryu's lead, Souji couldn't help but to notice that Blaisa looking over at him - a sudden pulsing from within him caused him to momentarily show subtle alarm. Her words and taunt would force him back into his nonchalant nature as he simply responded with a sly middle finger with his thumb outstretched, head tilted to the left. Ryu took off and so did Blaisa... Noting the rate at which she moved, a smirk manifested on his mouth. "I see... You're still..." He took off, immediately closing the distance that was once great between them. As he landed on a branch next to her in mid stride, he did not look her way. He could feel her eyes were on him, from his lips escaped - "...too slow." His tone was cold, with the ability to invade the very core. He would pass her to catch up to Ryu with ease. There pace was keenly noted, as too the miniscule difference in their speed.  

In their sprint, from the corner of his eyes he would noticed the girl soaring pass them like a bullet released from its chamber. This actually surprised the Hyuuga of the sand. While at the same time leaving him to find her resourceful and unorthodox. As she landed on the freet before them, Souji narrowed his eyes as he realized what she did. 'All of that, just to get ahead of us? Her determination is strong, but her inability to maintain chakra is greater.' He would think to himself. She would soon discover just how senseless her display was, Souji and the other would pass her by after some skips. The shinobi would all land. At this time Souji's Byakugan was active. To his surprise, Blaisa went in on her own. Why was she being so impatient? Impulsive? He could not make head or tails of it.  

What was to come next was the molding of her chakra to form a technique. This literally took Souji by surprise as he never seen a jutsu like that before... no, that's not quite right. 'That technique closely resembles the Hyuuga Clan's Heavenly Rotation! The only difference being... the chakra within that orb is unstable. Her control over it is good, but she's no master of it. It's swirl is too violent. But still... when did she manage to obtain something so dangerous?' He thought. Her jutsu would clash with the door and render it to splinters and scraps. An opening was not visible to them, but something tells him, that technique could have leveled that entire home.... so perhaps she did have more control over it than he thought.  

There was a voice that emerged from the depths of the home. Pearly eyes focused and honed in, piercing through tge solidity of the home to locate the source and the company. They swarmed out almost immediately. Without truly thinking, instinctively Souji acted. "Blaisa!! Get back, NOW!!" He yelled, simultaneously reaching his right hand into his weapon pouch on his lower back. Retrieving one kunai with a piece of paper with Kanji marked on it. His hand swung the projectile in the precise direction of where the large orc that was heading towards Blaisa. The kunai would meet with the right eye of the creature and the tag would sway from the momentum. The orc would scream in sudden agony from it's optical pain, flailing its arms and club about, swinging in all directions - swatting and crushing two of the gremlins that swarmed around it. 

Suddenly the sound of hissing would emerge beneath its cries as the tag was not releasing a smoke.... this was a cue that it was about to detonate. Blaisa had a few seconds on top of the command to create distance. Thus the tag explodes with engulfing the creature within its blast that reached a meter in radius. Was that enough to end it and the little ones around it? Why did Souji even do that? He was still confused himself, but there was little time to even contemplate. There were more coming and Ryu was already heading in. The Hyuuga could not allow him to go in alone, thus he would follow suit. Catching up to him, he would yell out. "Ryu! I'm going to lure a few of them in another direction... You better not die, or I'll kick your ass!" A smile would form on his face as he began to steer off to the right. One of the orcs and its following of gremlins would follow it into Souji's direction.  

Once away from the fold, Souji would spot that there was one Orc and three gremlins with it. Coming to a stop, he scan the situation. Both hands within his pockets as he began to speak. "Hm? You look worse than Ogre. I wonder if you are all related. I guess I'll find out if he receives a letter for a few funerals." He jest. The Orc took the initial step and swung its massive club in his direction from the left. His eyes would take note. There was little reason to hold back, thus he decided that he wouldn't. A sudden burst (Gentle Step: Hyuuga Bolt) would cause the creature to miss, the club swinging over the head of Souji as the teen was now within half a foot of tge red clad monster. The creature would bring its club up overhead within both hands and release a massive roar. Souji took his right palm and forcefully thrust it into the left chest of the beast. Chakra built within his palm and forearm prior to his movement. He could see the chakra network of the monster, but his aim was for the heart. Once he made contact, he released a massive amount of chakra. 

The raw force was powerful! So powerful that it would create a clean puncture through tge chest and out the back (Eight Trigrams: Mountain Crusher). The sight of blood carried with the blow. The heart was crushed under the immense pressure and shot out from the cage of its former home. A bright white luminous light would engulfed the orc and forced the create to launch backwards a max of fifty meters towards the home it emerged from. Tumbling along the way created snow clouds. It death rattle would escape its horrid mouth and leave it breathless.  

The gremlin would look on at the feat in complete shock before looking amongst one another. Souji with his right palm still outstretched would slowly descend it. Glancing over his left shoulder to look at the three humanoid things as they sneakily crept three meters behind him. They maintained their distance, as did Souji maintained his awareness. The green-skinned creatures were murmuring something amongst themselves. Planning tactics perhaps? This would peak interest in Souji, turning to face them, he would tilt his head to the left. "Hey! What are you three on about? I just took down one of your masters, stop wasting time and come at me! I'm beginning to lose my patience..." His tone would reveal that budding irritation. 

The creatures would look to one another yet again before they all starting darting at him in an unsightly manner with their weapons. The Hyuuga would dart back at an angle. His right hand outstretched and his fingers formed a makeshift gun. With his excellent chakra control, Souji managed to focus his raw chakra at tge point of his index finger (Spirit Gun). A cyan ball, two inches exact. His eyes focused on the three gremlins as they began to intertwine as they charged. He was timing it, timing their rhythm until he saw the window of where they would momentarily be aligned. Once that was revealed, instantly he pointed tge ball at the first one in the line. His thumb slamming down like tge hammer and the two inch ball expanded into a six inch beam that would pierce the first, second and third gremlins head - collecting their souls along the way. One after the other they fell to the snow staining it with their green foul blood.

Coming to a stop, he would catch a quick breather. His hair would sway in the winter air as he looked over to Blaisa to see how she was fairing, and then over to the other two.

[WC: 1,555]
[Total WC: 2,650]

Looking back at her teammates while smiling with her thumbs up, the young Sarutobi was taken by surprise as she could sense an unfamiliar presence approaching the group from within the house.  “Huh?-“, she would begin to mutter under her breath before turning around to make eye contact with the four massive, ten meter tall goblins that were accompanied by smaller minions alike.  Reacting quickly to the roaring of Souji’s command, Blaisa immediately turned to face him and began forming the ram hand seal.  Performing the Body Flicker Technique, Blaisa instantaneously appeared behind Souji with an impressive display of speed, standing one meter behind him. 
 
Quickly recuperating from the surprise attack, Blaisa watched in awe as the Hyuuga intelligently threw a paper bomb kunai, nailing the oppressive orc right in the eye.  ‘So fast…’, she would silently think to herself with an expression of admiration – interested in the quick and nimble reflexive abilities that Souji had possessed to potential dangers.  Taking down one of the giants and the few minions, the Sarutobi watched as the Hyuuga called out to Ryu to indicate that he would be taking another group of them elsewhere.  Letting out a noise of frustration as Souji leaped into action, Blaisa started to get annoyed at the fact that he had technically saved her life. 
 
‘I’ll be damned if he’s the only one who’s getting to have some fun around here!’, the Sarutobi continued to silently think, gripping her fists in comedic anger.  Looking back towards the group of enemies that were continuing to advance their attack, Blaisa grew a widened smile on her face that was accompanied by a look of determination.  Quickly shifting her head back to Ryu, she began to speak – “Ryu – I’m going as well!  I’ll lure some over here to the southwest!”.  Wasting no time waiting for a confirmation order from Ryu as team leader, Blaisa immediately began to spring into action – heading straight on towards the group of enemies that consisted of one tall 10-meter orc, accompanied by three smaller minions.
 
Continuing her rush towards the enemies, the Sarutobi quickly began to form the clone hand seal.  “Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!”, Blaisa would quietly speak under her breath in a calm tone as two puffs of smoke appeared, spawning in two shadow clones on her left and right sides, two meters away from her.  As the trio of Blaisa jumped forward intending to attack, they all quickly landed gracefully on their feet three meters in front of the group of enemies – immediately springing towards the southwest direction away from her allies, effectively juking them out.  “Catch me if you can, uglies!”, Blaisa would yell tauntfully in hopes that she could lure them away as quickly as she could.
 
The bait worked as the group of enemies began rushing Blaisa and her shadow clones with full force.  Forming a small smirk that leaked out of the corner of the three Blaisa faces, they all immediately stopped in their tracks to turn around and face the still charging group of enemies.  Wasting no time hopping into action, the left shadow clone sprinted towards the tall 10-meter orc before raising her right fist - intending to strike him with an unimpressively simple, weak punch.  The orc continued his charge towards the left shadow clone, laughing as he raised his club in order to swipe her away with ease.  It was during his charge that the original Blaisa used the Body Flicker Technique to sneakily flicker behind the tall orc 5 meters away, going unnoticed by the orc – followed by her leaping up 10 meters in the sky, extending out her right hand in order to generate a massive amount of rotating chakra. 
 
The orc stopped completely in his tracks once he was within range of Blaisa’s left shadow clone, smacking his club straight down into the ground with a massive amount of strength, creating a 3-meter crater as he smacked it down – also causing Blaisa’s left shadow clone to disappear in a puff of smoke.  The orc continued to laugh as he now set his eyes on Blaisa’s right shadow clone, saying “Haha!  One down two more to g-“.  “Rasengan!”, the orc would be interrupted as the original Blaisa came piercing down from the sky, shooting herself straight towards the tall orc with the whizzing ball of chakra with her right arm extended out in front of her body. 
 
Making direct contact with her attack into the orc’s left shoulder from above, Blaisa aggressively pushed the orc straight down into the ground, creating an even bigger crater of 10 meters with the enemy lodged directly in the center of the crater.  Standing over the tall but now defeated orc, she deduced that his body was now immobilized due to the damage, watching a moderate amount of steam emit from the wound that Blaisa had afflicted.  “You should’ve been paying attention – you ugly, green… thing?  What are you anyways?  Regardless, keep your eyes open next time!”, Blaisa would speak towards the unconscious enemy in a condescending, comedic tone.  With the tall orc now defeated, Blaisa and her right shadow clone both turned their attention towards the smaller minions, cracking their fists respectively before preparing to continue their fight.   
 
The two of Blaisa quickly dashed towards the minions in order to make quick lightwork with them through basic hand to hand taijutsu combat.  Taking a few moments for each of them to let out a few punches, her attention was quickly taken away from the minions as Blaisa looked at her shadow clone in shock.  The tall orc had recovered from his incapacitation, slamming his club straight into the right shadow clones’ head – causing the clone to disappear in a puff of smoke as he slammed yet another 3-meter crater into the ground.  “Ha…Ha….”, the Orc would begin to speak in a dumb, unintelligent tone, “Now two gone.  One.  Left.”, he would finish.
 
Blaisa would quickly scan her surroundings and take note of what was going on in the battlefield.  Surrounded by all three minions and the tall orc, she simply took in a deep breath before beginning to concentrate.  As her enemies began to approach her closer and closer, Blaisa began to think to herself – ‘I have no choice.  I must use the most powerful jutsu in my current arsenal.  I hope I’m far enough away from my allies – they can’t get caught in this!’.  Looking back over at Souji’s fight to gauge his distance from her – she noticed that he was using a familiar jutsu, one that she had recently learned herself.  ‘Is that… Spirit Gun?’, she continued to think in silence as she watched the Hyuuga dome the three gremlins with one shot, concluding his end of the fight. 
 
‘Impressive, Souji.’, Blaisa continued to think, taking a moment to close her eyes and let a smile out on her face, ‘That’s why – I must win too!  I won't lose here!’.  Reopening her eyes once more, a newly grown look of determination began to spread across the Sarutobi’s face.  ‘Horse – Dog – Ram – Dragon – Tiger – Snake!’, Blaisa would think to herself while concentrating on forming the corresponding hand seals simultaneously.  After finishing the formation of the hand seals, the group of enemies surrounded her from 4 meters away, just moments away from striking.  “You lose.  Monsters.”, Blaisa would quietly say in a cocky tone, piercing her eyes towards the sky and crouching down in order to prepare for an abnormally high jump. 
 
Lifting off the ground, Blaisa left a gust of wind behind her as she leaped into the air, directly above the group of enemies at 30 meters in height.  Looking back down at the group, the Sarutobi began to aim at the group of enemies with Blaisa taking in a huge amount of air before letting out her jutsu – “Katon, Goka Mekkakyu no Jutsu!”, she would roar.  Not a second later, the Sarutobi quickly spit out a massive wall of strong, oppressive fire chakra that was comparable to a supercharged flamethrower, spanning 25 meters in both height and length, watching it spread across the battlefield with immensely powerful flames incinerating everything in her path from trees to enemies alike.  Suspended in the air and continuing to release her jutsu, Blaisa sustained this devastating stream of fire for a full 10 to 20 seconds, ensuring her victory and allowing her to successfully contribute to the completion of this mission. 
 
The Sarutobi stopped the release of fire before swiftly landing on both feet, looking down at the environment around her.  All the snow in a 25-meter radius around her had melted, with a few trees burned down to the ground and no underlying grass being revealed under the now melted snow.  Dropping to her knees in order to catch her breath after performing such an exhausting technique, Blaisa came to notice that the orc and the three minions had all their bodies burnt to a crispy, black charcoal – almost unrecognizable to what they were previously.  Looking back over at Souji still crouched and catching her breath, she faced him while closing her eyes and smiling – waving at him over in his direction before letting out yet another thumbs up.  She was proud to keep up with Souji, and even more importantly - was proud that they both won their respective battles.
 

Rising to a full stand, Blaisa stood still as she placed her right hand on her forehead in search of Ryu and Sakuragi.  She was interested in how they were both faring in their own fights against their groups of combatants, searching in anticipation to see how well they were to perform.

Word Counter:

The weird proportioned and impossibly tall creature had swung his club at Blaisa, but he had been countered beautifully as the girl activated a jutsu and vanished from in front of him, at the same time Souji had attacked with a precision kunai, a paper bomb attached to it, the explosion rocked the monster as it swung, not that his target was in front of him anymore. Blaisa appeared behind them as Ryu dropped from the branch, as he landed on the floor and was about to take off at the first group, his teammates also acted. In response to the words of encouragement from Souji Ryu smiled, although the resto f the team would not be able to see it as he was facing the other way, this had been one of the first times he had engaged in combat with a full team around him, it felt good. Extending his right arm outwards Ryu closed his fist and stuck his thumb up, responding to Souji, he had no intention of dying, purely for the fact he would not enjoy the posthumous reprimand it would bring from his new teammate.

As Ryu's thumb defiantly signaled his intentions, he also closed his eyes and began to build chakra up in his core, he then pushed it outwards fro mall sides and then channeled it through his network to his brain, more precisely the left hemisphere, as he did he saw the image of his master flicker through his head and a swinging door fluttered in some impossible, invisible wind. Then in a burst of chakra, it flung open Ryus eyes opened, his thumb still extended "Gate of OPENING", strength flooded through his system as he opened the first gate of the Eight Gates Formation. No outward change in appearance occurred but inside Ryu could feel his strength almost doubling, this enhancement would only last for a short while but he would make full use of it. At this time his two teammates had split off and lured a group of enemies to each of them and began battling the groups, he was sure the fourth member of the group would recognize what the plan was and take the last group of enemies that were still near the house and the main one had already lost an eye but had started to recover, the smaller enemies scuttling around his feet, fussing over their leader.

Ryu moved his right foot back a few steps and bent his left knee so his stance was lowered, his right hand now closed to a fist and he brought it down to his hip, extending out his left arm, the hand open, with his fingers pointing up to the sky. Darting back and forth over the enemies Ryu's eyes moved quickly and took in the situation, he formulated an attack plan. The disparity between the enemies suggested that maybe the smaller enemies were just to stop anyone getting in close with the giant green skins and getting under their feet, obscuring their vision and the ability to attack. So Ryu decided this is exactly what he would do, he would ignore the smaller enemies and get in close with the 10-meter giants. Ryu squatted slightly deeper and then sprang forward, his first leap took him in close with the green-skinned giant, and past the first two of the smaller goblin enemies. Ryu then squatted deeper again, his leg muscles tensing with the enhanced power fro the first of the eight gates, when they had tensed at the bottom fo the squat he launched himself upwards, his dominant left leg coming up and extending to its maximum point as he rose up into the air. Reaching just below the chin of the giant his leg would then connect with the giant, the full force of the attack hitting him under his chin (Leaf Rising Wind), for a split second Ryu wondered if he had accrued enough power to lift the orc, but as the thought passed through his mind he could feel the enemy start to lift off the ground, he then began to fall back towards the ground. However, Ryu had experienced this before and had worked out a new technique to counter such a drop in momentum, Ryu pushed chakra to his feet and started to furiously kick the air, as he did he started to rise upward (Airwalker) in a diagonal path, just like he was running up a flight of stairs. However, to gain altitude he also was starting to put distance between himself and his intended target, Ryu twisted round as he continued on his path and began to turn and then gain height again, this time closing the distance back towards his target. The noise created from Ryu's technique was like a bat rapidly tapping on plastic, the noise started to increase in frequency as he increased speed. Ascending over the head of the orc as the creature reached the apex of his climb and titered for a split second before he would begin to fall, Ryu extended his leg once again, but this time he would strike downward at his enemy and bring his heel directly onto the head of the orc (Guillotine Kick) and sending him plummeting down towards the ground. Ryu began to lose his altitude, as he fell he shifted his weight downward and resumed kicking the air, this time descending down the stairway towards his falling opponent and the group of smaller enemies. 

As Ryu neared the ground he extended his dominant left arm and brought his hand into a fist, as he reached the floor he used all his strength to strike the ground, it began to crack and sunder, in a cone outward from him, in front of him the group of enemies began to lose their footing, the bigger enemy had already hit the ground and was beginning to stir, he had not been dealt with. Ryu enhanced strength began to fade from his body, he was unsure whether that was the time limit for the technique given his current mastery of it or if he had used too many techniques in too short of a time, either way, it was way too short. Ryu decided he would change tactic, his muscles feeling heavy, exhaustion creeping into them. Ryu jumped forward and landed on the sundered earth, chakra traveling from his core down to his feet and activating the surface walking technique. As Ryu landed he weaved the Hare hand seal and his shadow darkened and started to contort and then rushed outwards in a circle around him (Shadow Imitation Field), expanding from his feet to form a circle 5 meters around him. He had positioned himself so that all of the enemies were caught within, he then began to weave other hand seals, Horse > Bird > Ox > Horse. As he completed the seal's electricity start to build around him, he dropped his stance down and pushed his hands outwards from his sides, as he did so all of the creatures around him could only watch as the electric field built and then shot outward from him (Gigavolt) and fried the smaller enemies. However, it was not enough to deal with the bigger enemy, apparently, he had enough strength to not be held in place by the Shadow Imitation Field and started to move towards Ryu. The Nara only had one technique stronger than what he had currently used, he started to form seals again as quickly as he could muster, his muscles now starting to resist his brain's ability to control them perfectly. Monkey → Dragon → Rat → Bird → Ox → Snake, Electricity started to build in his hand again, this time it was concentrated just to his palm, the technique was much more focused and therefore held a much greater power, Ryu closed the gap between himself and the still slightly staggered enemy and thrust his palm through where he assumed anatomically the heart of the orc would be "CHIDORI" he exclaimed as he did so. Ryu dropped down onto his knees, his energy leaving him, he had expended too much chakra as well as the damage that had accumulated fro musing the Eight Inner Gates Formation, he looked up to see how his teammates were doing but suddenly found himself back in his home within the mountainous borders of the Lightning Country, "Damn" he exclaimed as he collapsed into a deep sleep.

The hyuuga would begin to approach the building that his white eyes caught sight of. The building itself was loaded with goodies, obviously, the Hollykage’s goodies. Every worker was given his own share of goodies, but these ones were just too greedy. Too greedy that they want it all for themselves. It was foolish of them to think that they could escape with such deeds, with such goodies. The stolen goods needs to be retrieved by the hyuuga, and returned to the Hollykage. The great and mighty Hollykage could have chosen to do the job himself, but he decided to select some capable ninjas from his good ninja list, among which was Sakuragi. The Divine Palm of the Haven , knew not how he got here, but that doesn't really matter. The major aim here is to not disappoint the Hollykage.  The degree of anxiety feelings on him is immeasurable. If this cup would pass over him, if he could skip this, or if there was anything at all that he could do, he would do, but retrieving these goodies is of uttermost importance right now. It is not easy, it wouldn't be, no one say it would be, the reward of this mission is the drive, however.  Even though, Sakuragi had never confronted four people at the same time, let alone fight them, he would be willing to do it this time. All he would need to do is to capture these thieves and recover the goodies. Actually, capturing someone is harder than Killing them, because when you are trying to capture someone, you can't use most of your lethal attacks because you're trying not to kill them, you want them alive. That'd be pretty hard to do, especially for someone like sakuragi, who has poor ninjutsu skills and low Versatile techniques. The young genin is primarily a taijutsu fighter, so he really has no jutsu to capture them. His best bet is to knock them all out, which would be freaking hard to do. It is certain that these workers themselves would be armed with deadly weapons of all kind , so for a kid like sakuragi to confront these four at the same time, he better be ready to face the worst scenario ever. 


The hyuuga would begin to move closer to the building. He was now 10 meters away from the building, he would be sure not to get noticed by any of the four in the building. His byakugan gives him great advantage of being able to quickly locate the position of the thieves and the goodies. The hyuuga would have to rely on his skills here. Certainly, these workers are rookies, who clearly have no skills. This gave Sakuragi a hint of how weak they are. An average shinobi would have noticed the hyuuga 10 meters away, but the workers didn't even notice the boy until he was in their room. Without needing to interrogate them, the hyuuga would swiftly and accurately move to deliver the eight trigrams one hundred and twenty eight palm strike on the four workers. The attack was strong enough to paralyse all four of them. Once that was done, the hyuuga would move the room where the goodies were stored, he would carry the bag that contained all the stuff, and then the Hollykage would teleport him out of the area.

Within the midst of all the fighting, Souji with his Byakugan was skilled enough to focus on his own targets, as well as his comrades. Specifically Blaisa... last he saw her, she was practicing a fire style jutsu that to his surprise she managed to learn in just a few tries. It was unclear to him just how skilled she was in ninjutsu, or if she was a genius like himself in that department. Those thoughts would linger no longer for she would catch his attention. The Hyuuga would take note as she propelled herself thirty meters in the air. It was like watching a rocket soar from its launch pad as she weaved her seals with elegance. His Byakugan would hone in on her, acknowledging her chakra in her core molding... "Fire style?" He would speak lowly. From her spewed a stream of embers that would expand quite the radius that would shock the teen. His eyes would widen, his brows would raise and his mouth slightly open as he would analyze the amount of chakra that was put into her jutsu. The waves of heat from the technique would reach all the way over to him.  

This would further dip him into a state of impress. "So... she finally did it. She managed to perfect her flames... No matter, I'm not going to allow her to surpass me." He would say, clenching his fists as he looked to her enemies that were now done. She would land and turn to look at him. Upon her smile and thumbs up, Souji would gift her something that she only ever saw when they were mere children... the teen would close his eyes, tilt his head to the left three inches and reveal his perfect and gently smile. Opening his eyes, he would give Blaisa a single nod. Mouthing the following in a low inaudible tone so that she could only read his lips. "Good.. Job, Blaisa..." It was in that moment he recognized her...recognized her as a shinobi and rival...  

Suddenly, from seemingly out of nowhere three gremlins would spring three meters behind the Hyuuga. Well within Blaisa's range of view. It would appear that Souji was unaware of them, but the Byakugan sees all. His hands weaved a few seals at tge speed of ninety-nine. Extending his right hand out before him his chakra would blink in and out of existence in his hand forming three of tge same shapes - kunai (Storage Displacement).  "So, you managed to survive huh? I guess I'll finish you off." He would flick his wrist, thus darting the three kunai in the direction of his head. They would zip pass him rendering him unharmed. Two on his left and one of his right. The kunai would swiftly fly along their path to meet with tge eyes of each gremlin with enough force to push through to pierce the brains. These creatures would instantly lose their will to move and live as their souls were ripped from them. Falling next to other three gremlins that Souji already disposed of.  

Sighing, he would motion his way over towards Blaisa, noticing that Ryu was already gone..so was the other one. Which meant there was little time left. As he motioned in her direction his eyes would revert back to normal. In his left hand he would materialize a sheet of paper and a tool to write with. He would jot down a few things on this paper and fold it. Now standing two feet before her he would hand the paper over to her. "Here... put it somewhere that you will forget about and find on accident. Also, I'd like for you to do something for me. Call it a hunch but..." Assuming she took the paper, he would roll his left sleeve up. This would of course reveal something gruesome to Blaisa that I only one other person ever seen... His left arm hand a multitude of scars and burns and even puncture scars that long since healed. The evident abuse started from his wrist up, indicating that it continued onward. This was his past. A past that was brought upon him by his parents doing. His reasoning for leaving the village in the first place. Souji always wore long and loose clothing to hide his scars. He was ashamed of them. However he grew a degree to not care so much a out them now. He extended the bare arm out to her. Looking her in her eyes with his lilac ones. "I want you to form a pact with me. Of course I'll need you to sign on my arm your name in blood to solidify you are in compliance with this. However, it will allow me to gain access to you no matter how far you are from me." He would say. Should she decide to comply with his request and do as he instructed. She would notice that her blood signed name would begin to darken in shade and outstretch to form a design around his forearm. Thus creating a marking similar to a Fuuinjutsu that would permanently center the clan insignia of the Sarutobi within it with a her name in Kanji directly under it. Around that would appear several more empty spaces...perhaps for other names or something else. His facial expression would show that he was pleased, but at the same time something was on his mind.  

"Since being here, something has been on my mind... but I'm not completely ready to share it just yet. However, should I summon you for any reason...then we both will know exactly what that thing is." He would end his words. With that being said he would feel from his gut an odd sensation much like the one he felt before arriving at this place. A light would engulf him and within a blink he was no longer there. He was now elsewhere.

Blaisa continued to pant as she was still recovering her breath from her previous attack.  Having her thumbs up still pointed towards Souji, her smile was wiped away and instead replaced with a look of confusion.  Upon closer inspection, it seemed to the Sarutobi that Souji was…. Smiling at her.  This was unprecedented for Souji as far as Blaisa had known, as all throughout their childhood together he had always been this rude, hateful, arrogant brat.  Attempting to contain her calm composure, the young shinobi could not help but let out a soft giggle in order to try and not overreact to the Hyuuga’s kind gesture.
 
‘I can’t believe he’s…. smiling.’, she would begin to think to herself in silence, raising herself up to stand on her own two feet – immediately halting all form of her exhaustion, miraculously gaining back every bit of energy that she had.  The Sarutobi would begin to close her eyes and smile, thankful that she was able to connect to someone as private and prideful as Souji.  Looking closer at the Hyuuga, she could tell that he began to say something under his breath.  Trying to zero in on his lips to make out the words, she was unable to determine what he was thinking. 
 
Seemingly out of nowhere, three more of the gremlin minions appeared right before the two shinobi – taking Blaisa off guard.  She would see Souji immediately spring into action, withdrawing three kunai and precisely dispatching the potential threat that sat before them.  The Sarutobi scoffed at the Hyuuga as he displayed an excellent amount of skill with his ninja tool accuracy, looking off to the side in annoyance in order to not acknowledge the fact that he still managed to one up her yet again.  Turning her attention back to her surroundings, she began to scan for a search of either Ryu or Sakuragi as they seemingly had disappeared.
 
‘I’m running out of time….’, Blaisa began to think to herself, realizing that her time was limited within the Land of Iron.  An expression of shock would overcome her face as Souji began to make his way towards her.  Standing side by side, the Hyuuga would begin to hand her a piece of paper – beginning to explain what she should do with it.  Being curious, she blankly stared at the piece of paper waiting for a better explanation.  An explanation would not be warranted to her as she inspected his arm that was riddled with scars and other abusive marking, eyes focused with a look of an unsettling, scared curiosity.
 
“Your scars… What are they fr-“, Blaisa would begin to speak towards Souji before being cut off with a rather interesting offer from him to her.  Today was full of surprises for the young Sarutobi as he continued to explain the pact and what that piece of paper was really for.  ‘Gain access… to me?’, she would continue to think after Souji was finished speaking.  The shinobi began to ponder on it for a few seconds, remembering that she had not seen the Hyuuga around the Leaf Village for quite some time now.  Blaisa began to feel a weird sensation of being nervous – fearful that she would not be able to see Souji again.
 
Ridding her face of curiosity, a stern, confident look began to take over her facial expression.  Looking back down at the paper, she noticed that it had Fuuinjutsu markings scribble all over the paper with two slots – one of the infamous Hyuuga Clan symbol, and the other one blank with nothing to show.  Still debating on if she had wanted to sign this mysterious contract, Blaisa locked eyes with Souji as he began to explain that something was on his mind – something he was not ready to share just yet with the Sarutobi, finally stating that there was a reason for this – a reason that would not come to fruition until a later date.
 
A tear began to fall from the right side of her cheek as she began to feel overwhelmed with a sensation of sadness.  Wasting no time in hesitation, Blaisa had finally made her decision.  Raising her right thumb into her mouth, she bit down on her fragile skin in order to draw a line of blood – enough to where the signing would be official and operational.  She placed the thumb on the top of the blank circle, sliding it from top to bottom in a vertical line of Sarutobi blood.  Shortly afterwards, Blaisa took a few steps back – the shinobi had so many questions for Souji, but seemingly so little time.
 
Wiping the tears off of her face, her look of sadness would turn in to a look of comedic annoyance, getting upset that Souji was seemingly speaking a foreign language to her.  “What don’t you want to share with me yet?!  This signing doesn’t mean I like you ya know!  Do you live in the Hyuuga District in Konoha?!  Let’s go home and train, just like the good ol da-“, Blaisa began to speak, rapidly asking as many questions as she possibly could to Souji before he surprisingly disappeared with a puff of smoke.  Her words and questions would be cut off, as the sadness began to overcome her once more.
 
“Don’t….. go.”, Blaisa began to quietly say under her breath as she began to look down at the ground.  Tears would begin to flow once more as she dropped down to her knees and slamming both of her fits into the soft, cold snow.  The young Sarutobi hated this feeling, the thought of being helpless and dependent.  ‘You think you can just leave me like that…. In a place as broken as our village?!  How dare you…..’, she began to think to herself in anger, overcome with a heavy dosage of confusion and sadness. 
 
‘I’ll find you… Souji… If it’s the last thing I do….’, she would finish thinking as she was left alone in the field, heartbroken, as cold windy chills ran across the back of her neck.
