Naruto: Shinjitsu no Mon

My posting are dependent on Yosh posting right now, so I'm a bit stuck...and he's waiting for the other Kage to post/arrive (One of the two) So that he can post again for his kage, and his other two in Kumo along with mine are all waiting for the third genin to be posted.

Kazuhiro, Ketsuro - Kumo no Kokushibyō
Kumogakure - Somewhere in the mountains



Ketsuro was leaning against a tall rock watching Ren and Megumi spar. Flame versus water. They had made a crater into the mountain much like a pool and filled it with water. This was one of many secret locations hidden among the mountains that Ketsuro and his cohorts used. Ren's water dragon was going in for the kill, but Megumi quickly countered with her fire breath technique. The steam created would make it difficult for either to see. Ketsuro continued to sit by and watch, a slight smile touching his lips. Megumi was an accident. His first experience with his kekkei genkai, but she had turned out marvelously. They would have to start working on her second element soon in the next few weeks or so. Ketsuro heard the clash of weapons as the two began fighting up close inside the steam. He wondered how hot it was in there.

His smile soon turned to a smirk as the two exited the steam on either side slightly red from the heat. He was definitely glad he wasn't in there either way. He looked over at Ren in thought. Ren had been purposefully taken. It had definitely been a wise decision too. The boy had marvelous talent when he found him, and now Ketsuro had improved him to a whole new level. His water techniques were still expanding, and he might not even get to figuring out his second nature, if the kid had one at all. At least not any time soon. Ren and Megumi were about to go head to head again as the steam dissipated, but lowered their weapons as Ketsuro stopped leaning on the rock and turned around.

How the Raikage's aides always found them when they went to train away from the village where no one would find them was always going to be a mystery. He looked at the aide with his cold eyes. "What is it that she needs?" No one else would dare bother trying to get him away from what he was doing...Except for that Eiji guy. Once the aide mentioned he was requested at the edge of the village Ketsuro was gone instantly. Ren and Megumi right behind him. The Chuunin exams huh? He wondered if there would be any promising genin at this event. If so if he could get the Raikage to okay it, he could have another body. It was unlikely that any of the genin would be any good though.

When he arrived it looked like she had been waiting for a little bit, but not too long. That was a good thing. He hated when she was in a irritated state. That meant he would have to deal with more annoyances, but that was not the case today. He turned his head to Megumi and nodded to her. Megumi being him more or less understood and walked back into the village, while Ren and Ketsuro walked on either side of the Raikage as they departed for the Land of Ash.

Koizumi, Ayano
Kumogakure Training Grounds



Ayano hated to admit it but Eiji had a point. Her eyes caught every single little detail. Trying to keep up with everything was beginning to hurt her eyes. She couldn't let it deter her though, this had only just begun. She was jumping from pillar to pillar with her speed, but Eiji just seemed to be toying with her forcing back to where she started. There was no direct path to him of course, but she couldn't even make progress. She didn't want to have to use any jutsu, especially not for this. She then noticed Iyana out of the corner of her eye and started making her way towards her, though Eiji made sure not to make it easy for her. Hopefully the two would finally meet.

She didn't have too much chemistry with her team as of right now. She was the newest member only transferred a short time ago due to her own squads annihilation on the last mission they had. She felt a little unwanted, especially concerning Iyana. The girl didn't seem to like anyone, but of course she was the one that Ayano actually wanted to get to know. From what she'd seen and heard about Iyana she found her almost inspirational, and hoped that she could learn a thing or two from her, and become good friends if Iyana would allow it. In the end though they would have to pass this stupid little game as their sensei liked to call it.

They're gonna need more than training to beat this year's top contender.

Just becausehe's the oldest guy and two decades too old to be a genin doesn't make him the top contender. Just makes him a sorry sap that once he fails it's just going to prove why he's still a genin. And the best part is I'm hoping that it'sa Kumo ninja that ensures that >:)

Meanwhile in Kumogakure, they're training to kick everyone's ass at the Chuunin exams :p

Onoki - Still waiting on him.Hiruzen - DeadChiyo - DeadMadara - F'in' Uchiha don't care about BS nonsense like dying. He gets to it when he feels like it, and not a century sooner.

10/10! The truth has been revealed!

The Walking Dead - Northwards

Chris had jumped off the back when given the chance. He hated leaving Claire with Jack. What if this whole situation was a set up? Jack had played them from the start? He shook his head. No Jack was a good man, he wasn't going to betray them...Well he hoped anyway...He had just reached a reasonably good position when the truck arrived at the camp. There seemed to be three people...all armed. This could go badly...all he had was his pistol...at this range while he had the upper ground...still wouldn't be the most accurate...He was a good shot at least, but they would just have to see how it played out. Chris crouched and leaned against the tree next to him and aimed his pistol and waited.

Claire on the other hand had been nervous the whole ride, especially after Chris got out. She trusted Jack, but he didn't have any chemistry with her, so how could they possibly work well together? And just driving up to the...while her idea...seemed pretty stupid now. Especially now that she saw that there was three people...and oh joy! they all had weapons too! She just sorta shrank in the seat pulling out the gun, but keeping it from view. She was definitely going to have to let Jack do all the talking...As he stopped and got out she unbuckled her seat belt and slid out on her side, making sure tat the truck hid most of her body, and more importantly the gun. Every second seemed like an hour, the unknown worried her. She didn't understand why she was so nervous. Whenever she was with Chris she was never nervous. Why was this so different? Could she really trust Jack? She looked at him from behind for a moment while he talked. All she could do now was pray...

Kazuhiro Ketsuro - Does (Grip of Deaths Jaws) allow her to possess living bodies under the influence of this technique? Also explain the effects of the poison coating all of her weapons, just how is it? You cannot have a possessed Uchiha body. Period.

Alright will get rid of the Uchiha part, but other than that is that one alright? Also the Grip of Deaths Jaws technique does not allow him to possess at all. That is the technique used to extract the victims soul. A process which takes time, and mostly is used to slow down the victim in combat more than anything, and then afterwards can be used to destroy the soul completely. After this the first two techniques are used to take over the body, which cannot be done under combat conditions.

Very true...
