Sitting At The River[[Open to Anyone;;

He woke up early, his usual night-terror filled night was slightly discarded as he went without a dream for the first time in several years. His morning was filled with a nice cup of cool tea, mixed in was a teaspoon of lemon and half of a sugar cube. Naethyn sipped his drink, it was tasteless like lukewarm water. Naethyn bit his tongue as he sipped the self-brewed tea. He was upset that the tea didn't taste well, so he heated up. He activated his "Fire Release: Fire Hand" technique and within seconds the cup was boiling, the ice melted away and as he sipped he regretted not waiting a few seconds. The tea burnt his tongue; his reaction was not very subtle as he dropped the cup of tea a little to high up: the cup shattered. Naethyn forgot about the many pieces of the broken glass and began getting dressed.

His hair was already dry which helped him for getting ready. He pushed open the closet door with ease as he clicked the light on. The light-bulb was burnt out, Naethyn's face faulted as he still had the "Slick Chakra" coating on his hand. He ignited his hand again looking for a good outfit, something that was going to prove to be salubrious on his eventful day. He lift his left, ignited, hand higher in the confined closet space as he noticed his favorite, most adored hat was missing. Naethyn's hand flickered and soon the Fire was no more. Nae jumped out of the closet and ran around the house excavating for his hat. No such luck provided fruitful to his adventure searching for his most precious tophat. Naethyn lost all faith in himself when he was back in the closet, igniting his hand once more as he looked on the floor and there was his favorite top hat, actually his only top hat. The camellia at the top of it was already dead and wrinkled. Naethyn needed a new flower. The flower, even the color, was all based on Naethyn's mood, or what he planned on doing, however he wouldn't change it till it died completely. Naethyn opened the back door of his little house to the garden of colorful flowers when he studied them, figuring out which one described him to a "T" when it came to today. He scanned over them and once more finally diving into the planted bouquet and picking a white rose, it wasn't yet bloomed and it would last quite a while when it came to being an accessory. Naethyn went into his dining quarters and cut the sides officially dethorning the rose and making a point at the end so he could place it in his hat. The white rose symbolized peace and inner beauty, something that Naethyn could appreciate.

Naethyn went back into his closet, his hand still ignited from his last visit. He quickly grabbed an outfit. He was soon covered head to calf. He was wearing a vivid, bright orange t shirt that was long sleeved and for once, did not contain a hole to reveal his tattoo. Naethyn had his black silk skin tight pants on. Again, as usual, he was barefooted. Naethyn's hat was very different today, a new flower started it off. The white rose was tucked into the left side of the hat instead of at the top. His usual red ribbon was replaced with a short blue ribbon that didn't billow in the wind as much. Naethyn's gold trim had been melted and sewed back on was the basic black trim. Naethyn smiled to himself as he walked out of the door, putting his forhead protector on his neck.

~

Naethyn was walking around Kirigakure no Sato, the Village Hidden in the Mist, it was somewhat quiet for the usual loud boasting Kirigakure. The village kept to itself outside of its walls. Naethyn noticed that most of the stores were closed. Was it a holiday? Naethyn thought to himself; his family was gone, they had moved off to Konohagakure, they were offered some Senju house. Damn Mokuton users, pfft. Naethyn thought quietly thinking that someone was reading his thoughts.

Naethyn then noted that today was Roudousai, Labor Day, all the stores were closed except for the family businesses that desperately needed the help. Naethyn was always praised when he walked by stores or people who have heard of him. Naethyn was very popular due to him being the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist Leader, the Swordsmen are more famous and known world wide then in past few years. Naethyn was close to his destination before someone stopped him.

"Aren't...um...your...ummm Naethyn Umni!" The strange man in a very well portrayed Konoha Shinobi outfit. He wore a Kirigakure Handband and Naethyn chuckled fakely as he held out a pen and paper. "Autograph."

Naethyn cracked a smile at the paper and sighed as he sighed it flawlessly. "Yeah, I am Naethyn UmnEI!" Stressing the last pronunciation of his last name.

Naethyn, after debating back and forth: who was a better swordsmen Zabuza or Kisame, got away from the crazed Swordsmen obsessed fan and finally reached the river. This was the one place in Kirigakure that wasn't dark and depressed looking. The River of Solitude, it was peaceful, and not overrun with wildlife, enough to calm one. Naethyn knew he would be going here hence the white rose. Naet was very excited with the power of the soothing rivers noise.

Naethyn rolled his pants up as he soaked his feet and lower calves in the water. It was bath warm. It sent a cooling and soothing sensation directly to his body and Naethyn laid back watching the blades of grass fly around in the strong wind. Naethyn noticed the trees rocking back and forth as if they were listening to a song. Naethyn chuckled to himself. He quickly realized that he forgot his sword at his home. He never even thought about it. The walk over was so quiet he didn't even realize that the people were wondering where his sword Banshi was. Naethyn slammed his palm on the ground and released the seal on his hand and soon the sword was back in his hand where it belonged. The tip was facing the water and Naethyn closed his eyes enjoying the sounds of nature.

Nothing better to do on a great day like this.

The sun was just breaking through the clouds as it rested on Kaito's face. He got up, knowing that he would be setting out on an adventure soon, but not today, today he was going to do something constructive. Traveling sounded just fine.

He got up, made his bed, and got dressed into his on duty attire, he grabbed his sword that was wrapped in gauze, and went to the beat down dresser drawers in search of some new gauze to wrap his sword in. He found the same dirty white color, and cut off a length that would be suitable for his sword. He then walked over back to the table and began to undress it.

When he was finished he burn the old gauze using his one burner stove, and a pan with a lid. when that was done, he threw the ashes out the window, onto the misty streets. He then grabbed the new gauze, and started from the end of the hilt, and wrapped it very tight, and very slowly. When this was done, he took a jar of milk from the fridge and left his apartment.

As he walked out, he popped the lid off the milk, and started to drink it, feeling the cold nice taste of the fresh liquid pour down his dry throat. When he was done, he walked outside to one of the trash bins, and put it in there.

For breakfast, he scoured the village, in search of any cheap food stands that might contain some fruit that he could barter off, or even get it for free. Sure, he was a popular swordsmen, he still didn't make a living when there was nothing to do. He then stumbled upon the same stand that he catches whenever he needs to.

"Hey, Can I have that apple and... That orange?" Kaito said, pointing to a shiny apple and a gleaming orange.

The tender gave it to him, free of charge, but Kaito left him 30 ryo, since he knew that he didn't make a living giving free fruit to everyone. No one would, but that was just how kind the man was. Kaito walked away, putting the orange in his flak jacket pocket, and took a big chunk out of the apple.

When Kaito reached the gates, he threw the apple into one of the open trash cans, and put his hands in his pockets, and then walked off, towards the same river that him and Naet often went to, to get away from all the popularity of the young tykes. Kaito really didn't like to sign anything, after all, it shouldn't be popular, it should be scary the amount of ninja that Kaito and Naet have killed, instead of loving them as idols, they should cry when they look at all the innocent kids. Kaito didn't get it, but he didn't mind getting free stuff anyway.

As he approached the opening to the river, he questionably saw another figure, soaking there pants in the cold water. Kaito quietly hid in the trees, with his hand on his sword, in case he would need to demonstrate another kill. However, as he creeped closer, he realised that it was not an enemy, but non other then Naet, the leader of the swordsmen. He must have come here to get away from all the other popularity as Kaito had done.

Kaito saw him summon his sword using the jutsu that he is familiar with, through experience, and watched him point the tip of the sword facing the rushing water. How cold it must be, Kaito thought as it was sunny but still early in the morning.

"Well, well, What do we have here?" Kaito said, chuckling as he said this.

Naet was the only person that Kaito could laugh and be normal with around, everyone else, well was just everyone else. Kaito walked up to one of the rocks that was off to the side, and rested his blade on it's side with the tip pointing to the river. Kaito sat on the same rock, letting his feet glide ontop of the river, as he didn't want to freeze his toes.

Naethyn's sword was facing the water as he heard noises, something that a normal ninja wouldn't leave traces off. The sounds were simple, slight motions through grass and leaves. Naethyn felt a chakra spike soon and knew immediately that the only one who had ever been to this part of the river was Kaito Jin, a fellow swordsmen. The swordsmen were, long story short, ruthless killers and Kaito never liked covering up his tracks. Naethyn had caught his sword and stabbed it into the ground, partially standing up so that he could do a unique trick.

Naethyn forced the chakra in his feet as he pushed off his sword, flipping backwards. Shifting his chakra from his feet to his upper body, he flung with more momentum as he was arching in the air. His sword pulled out of the ground as he twisted his body forcing chakra back into his feet landing near perfectly. He quickly lifted his sword onto his shoulder as if it weighed half a pound, which to him it did. Naethyn smiled at Kaito and then his eyes went a little fuzzy as what he did required a lot of practice and technique.

"Kaito, what brings you here on this glorious afternoon?" Naethyn's voice very soothing and melodious the words fall of his tongue like baby powder on skin. He held up his sword towards the sun and replied to Kaito "The sun is out and Kirigakure is clear for the first time in many moons." Nae's fun fact was a little hint at the fact that Naethyn had been around longer then Kaito and knows that it is not called The Village Hidden in the Mist for nothing.

Naethyn was very off put when it came to Kaito, new people weren't Naethyn's forte. He was so paranoid because Naethyn had just lost a swordsmen to the Missing and didn't want to have a group of missing Swordsmen of the Mist and have to deal with the Mizukage yelling at him again for not doing a better job. Being a Missing-Nin and having the Seven Swordsmen title was very respected amongst Bounty Hunters and Nukenin. Naethyn was weighing the options of going Missing because he had known that Akatsuki was soon to surface again and Naethyn was deciding if joining was such a good idea. He'd be a highly bountied S Ranked Nuke Nin, which was almost Naethyn's dream.

The day was young and the mothman was determined to find someone to entertain him for the day. He had managed to slip away from suna and the anbu leader to find something more interesting that village being one of the most boring he had been in. Since the new kazekage had taken over his kind had inhabited the village and felt to him like zombies and he tried his best to avoid the village. He fluttered through the air his colorful wings being seen by anyone within a 15 foot radius. He was heading towards kiri his feelers picking up a large amount of chakra his large red glowing eyes scanning the area constantly using the hundreds of small eyes in the large clusters to search must more quickly. Even though he was a moth humanoid he used his moth attributes as if he had always been born with them his human being very dominant. He also wore his anbu mask on the stop of his head his feelers working like radars through the eyes of his anbu mask. He was flying high above the land his large eyes being strong enough to see the ground even up at about a 30 foot height and with the mist drifting around the area which was the instant indication that he was nearing kiri.

He began to grow closer and closer to the large amount of chakra as he neared it he realized that it was not one person with a large amount of chakra but two. He landed a good distance away so that they would not be able to see him and shrouded his naked body with his large wings it creating a cloaked look around him covering his body and wrapping his head up hiding his feelers and most of his face. His color wings made it look like he was wearing a robe of all different shades of blues, greens, and reds. He stuck his hand into the top of the cloak where is feelers were shifting his hand multiple times trying to slip his feelers through the holes again so he could place his mask on his face. He had difficulty getting them out at first but when he had finally separated his mask and his feelers he slowly pulled the mask down to his face the mask only slightly covering his large eyes tugging his wings down further over his head to make it look like his mask fit his face perfectly. The red glowing of his eyes could be seen behind the mask but that was all. The mask looked like a fox with the symbol for suna on the forehead which fit him well very sneaky but at the same time always happy.

He slowly began to approach the two which were near what looked like a body of water stopping when only the body water separated them at first not saying anything for a moment just looking at them scanning them for a moment. The first man that caught his eye was had white hair something he admired very much even though his body was covered in white hair. His blue what looked like armor also very interesting the first thing that he could think was that he had to have something to do with ice which was just an accusation he could be wrong and wasen't planning on finding out. The other man was wearing something eh found rather odd a orange t-shirt with black tight pants and a hat a combination he had never seen before. They both carried swords in their hands and being from the mist they would most likely be two of the legendary swordsman but he had no idea he was never interested in swords or kenjutsu he preferred to stick with his bugs and ninjutsu.

"I mean you no harm i am an anbu from the sand village."

Mothman had a very deep voice that was also raspy something that had happened to him after he was transformed which he found rather odd he had a soft voice before most people thinking automatically he was kind and preferred not to fight but now his voice could easily scare small children rather confused why the transformation had a side effect on his voice something he always thought about when he talked but quickly drifted away after a few moments. After saying that the mothmans feet became covered in blue chakra as he stepped across the water as most ninja could do easily his hands in the air to make sure the two knew he was not trying to attack them. The two swords seemed very intimidating and if they were legendary swordsman it would be extremely stupid if he would have just ran to them and started to talk. He continued to walk slowly taking around five minutes to arrive on the other side of the body of water which would normally take seconds due to his speed. After making it next to the odd man wearing the orange t-shirt he chuckled his very deep voice echoing underneath the mask.

"What brings you two to a place like this from the looks of it you are skilled swordsman shouldn't you be elsewhere?"

His deep raspy voice once again boomed sounding almost like their was a hiss to it as well looking from the man in the orange t-shirt to the man wearing the blue armor. His mind again pondered how his voice became this way shaking his head slightly to stop day dreaming and pondering what can never be understood and return to the conversation he was having with the two in front of him.

As Kaito was sitting down on a rock, he felt a big chakra spawning nearer and nearer. He tensed his guard and awaited to see what he would find. A weird being submerged from the trees and shrubs and a weird figure covered in a multicolor of cloth with a fox mask on came closer to them. He then spoke.

"I mean you no harm i am an anbu from the sand village." The man said mysteriously.

Kaito thought this guy was screwed in the mind. How could this weirdo become an anbu from the sand? Was the Sand that messed up? Kaito thought a lot about this man and then he spoke once more.

"What brings you two to a place like this from the looks of it you are skilled swordsman shouldn't you be elsewhere?"

Kaito tensed up at the words of this, he shot Naet a look that blatantly spoke:

"Can I?"

Kaito didn't like this weirdo, whoever he was, he was from another village and an anbu from that village. He was also a bit queer, noone would miss him anyway if he magically disappeared. Looking at the Swordsmen leader, Kaito awaited his response while slowly and quietly making the hand seals for 2 jutsu. Mist, and Substitution. The anbu couldn't see him, as they were both easy techniques.

The mist started to arise, and Kaito switched his gaze to the slowly disappearing Naet. Awaiting for the "Okay" to disperse of this man.

Hidden Action: Mist, Substitution.

Name: Hidden Mist (Kakushi kiri, ???)
Rank:B
Element:Water
Description: Kaito can create mist if there is water near him. His opponents cannot see through this mist, but Kaito can due to growing up in the mist village. (Other mist ninja can.)

Substitution

Naethyn was interrupted mid sentence by a large bug like man, he was tired of all these interruptions, he wanted to simply relax, he was really close to exploding on everybody. He didn't want this to go to far, he would have to find a whole new swordsmen.

"Go ahead. I can't stop you." Naethyn said before jumping in the water and watching the fight ensue.

The Mothman had a face of confusion behind his mask as the man in the armor with the white hair seemed to become extremely defensive at the mothmans arrival. His body tenced up as he looked to the other man with the large sword just as the man in the armor as the mist then covering the area he quickly unwrapped his wings revealing his form. He was an extremely slinder and lanky very fuzzy creature being much taller then the normal person. His massive wings flapped blasting all the mist around him away with great force and he flew through it very quickly. His body cut through the top of the large cloud of mist the mothman looking down into it being able to see the man along with being able to sense him using his feelers. He then quickly flew into the forest using the mist to hide him diving into a tree landing on all fours slipding hsi mask onto the top of his head as it was before. He quickly preformed a string of handsigns spawning his clans signature jutsu the nest from which he could create a multitude of different insects.

Still on all fours his wings ready to flap again and take flight he just watched as the insects seemed to know exactly what the mothman wanted them to do. He nest underground spawned a single burrowing and to create the tunnel for the insects that are spawned in the nest to exit from. Being that the nest was directly underneath the tree he was stnading on the tunneling scarab created a tunnel behind the tree to make it seem like they were coming from the tree. After the tunnel scarab created the tunnel around twenty insects with a shield like shape on his body called vile shield bugs emerged from the tunnel crawling on the tree for a moment before taking flight. The twenty insects flew directly into the mist and began to give off an amazingly foul smell that could easily knock out the man if he did not escape from it soon. The mothman stayed in the tree to stay away from both the smell and his enemy only watching the mist from a far.

The scarab use that as an easy escape and can borrow at an amazing speed through even the thickest rock.s

Nathyn gave him the thumbs up, and Kaito was ready.

The moth thing took flight, blowing the mist away into the trees. The moth startedto take flight and threw through the mist, and into the forest hiding within the mist. Kaito looked straight across from where the moth entered the forest, he saw straight through the mist, the Mothman thing doing a string of handsigns and spawned a next like thing on the ground. All of a sudden small black flying substances flew through the air.

Bugs! around 20 bugs started to retreat into the mist, as well as the nest, that was in the mist, and the summoner, the mothman. The mothman retreated back more, and suddenly from the mist a smelly kind of stench started to arise. It was like a poisen or a knock out gas more like it, and Kaito had just the treatment.

"Made, Made Dane... Yuryuo no Kiri." Kaito said ever so quietly, while charging the mist in the area of the bugs with lightning, consuming a really really small amount of chakra. Suddenly the bugs fell to the ground, and the stench disappeared, Kaito thought that this guy was a newbie, who didn't know much about Kaito's power yet. He then saw, into the mist again, the nest starting to smoke, as some of the mist made it's way into the nest and the lightning shocked it. The Mothman's plan was rendered useless.

Just to make sure however, Kaito stood up, and grabbed his sword, walking in the direction of the mist. Just before he entered, he did two things, one of which was telling Naet that he would be right back, and the other was taking the charge off the mist, as it sereved no purpose anymore. Kaito entered the mist, and walked straight to where the trail of dead bugs led to, and found himself a smoking smelly bug nest.

He took his sword not even taking the gauze off of it, and with one hand; the other was in his pocket, brought it over his head, and brought it down with such impact that it destroyed the tree, as well as destroying every bit of the nest. As the earth was destroyed, leaving big spikes everywhere, Kaito walked back out, and sat ontop of the same rock again.

"Back." Kaito said to Naet yawning.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Name:Yuryo no kiri (Charged mist, ????)
Rank:B
Element:Lightning (mist)
Description:Once Kaito uses his mist technique, he can then charge the mist with lightning, and anything conductable in the mist (including stuff on kaito) will be shocked. IT will give little stinging sensations to the opponent or prey that enters the mist, and will be stopped when they exit. Continues minor stings until exited the mist.

Naethyn jumped out of the Mist as the battle would start to ensue. Naethyn had been with Kaito enough times to realize what happens when Kaito uses his Mist tech. Naethyn smiled as he quickly jumped further and further away closer to the Village. He wasn't sure about helping Kaito, the ANBU were there for the same reason that the Swordsmen were for. Naethyn was not ready for the ANBU to completely hate the village.

If Kaito got close to kill the ANBU, Naethyn would suppress him with his Stone Prison technique, he wasn't entirely ready to lose all protection from the ANBU because of a simple little trigger happy Swordsmen. Naethyn was too far away for the mist to reach him but he was ready for defense tactics.

The insects that were in the mist squeaked in agony as they were fried in the mist stopping mid air and falling to the ground curling up. The nest was also caught in the mist and began to be sparked and smoke which the swordsman made quick work of. The mothman let out a long sigh but still had a smile on his face. This swordsman proved quickly to be a rather crafty adversary and he would not be able to treat this man like a complete idiot like he treated most of his opponents. He preformed the same handsigns again creating another nest but this time in a much more different and much more concealed. The nest was placed between one of his large wings and his back to make sure it was properly hidden from the enemy and made sure to stay out of this mist to prevent his nest from smoking as it did before. His feelers were constantly moving now he had to make sure he knew where this ninja was at all times to prevent him from being taken by surprise. He was still in the air flying the nest in a place on his body to not be seen even when he was flapping and also hidden by the hairs on his body allowing him to produce bugs and make it look like they were actually coming from him.

Three bugs crawled out of the nest and onto his fingers using chakra as the three insects traveled on the trail. They were ants that seemed to be smoldering they were his favorite insects in his arsenal the C4 fire ants he loved to use. He made sure to keep a trail of chakra on his skin and on his hairs to keep the ants from sticking to him. If these ants were to stick the only way he would be able to get them off is by cutting the hair or flesh they were attached to away or making them explode which either way was a hassle. The ants finally made it to his hand after crawling for about seven seconds the three rather small ants crawling to his finger tips being coated in chakra they looked like small bullets. He then looked to the man in the mist using his feelers to make sure he was being extremely accurate began to fire off these three ants.

He flicked one of the ants the blue chakra on the backside of the ant exploding off launching this ant at an amazing speed towards the left kneecap of the man which if connecting would land perfectly on the center of his knee. Another ant was fired almost right behind the other one aiming for his right kneecap this time in the same spot. The final ant was fired aiming for the forehead of this man aiming for the very top of his forehead near his scalp to attempt to blow the top of his head off but was fired at about thirty seconds after the others. These bugs were extremely lethal if they did connect with the mans body as they would stick and explode on him easily blowing off the limb they were attached to but he knew that this swordsman would not allow it. He set this up to see what this man could really do when faced with a life threatening situation. The chakra covering the ants would protect them from the sparks in the mist to keep them from dying and exploding mid air while at the same time they blended in with the thick mist and move at a great speed meaning this swordsman would have to react quickly. He simply watched but then it struck him he didn't even know the name of this man he just knew that he was a crazy swordsman of kiri that needed to be on leash. He began to wonder if the leader of the swordsman in this village just let his lackeys do as they please or was this just the one bad apple of the swordsman that actually needed to be eradicated.

The bugs also have a incredibly sticky liquid on their legs allowing them to stick to even the most slip resistant materials with no problem. Hachi can only use 1-5 of these ants at a time.

Kaito couldn't see much, but as he walked back and sat down on his rock which was clear from the mist, and looked up to the sky, he could see the Moth man flying. after about a minute, a couple of things happened. The man in the sky started to make little explosions, and then Kaito could recognize to little balls, almost like bullets, that were probably aiming for him, but they needed to go through the mist first. And then the last one explosion, this time came at an angle of trajectory that was going for his upper body, or somewhere like that.

"Hmph..." Was all that Kaito needed to say.

He made more mist, and then realized that he needed to go. He would have liked to stay, but he was needed elsewhere. So, Kaito put his two hands together, and the bugs were about 2 ft away. As he was done, alot and alot of mist started to arise. But, the bugs blew up. Shredding Kaito's face and limbs to pieces. Kaito was for surely dead.

And that's when Kaito activated the substitution from the beginning of the fight, and turned into the mist that he newly summons, and floated away, back into the mist village. He manipulated the wind into a sign that said:

"Just Kidding. Good Fight." And Kaito was back at the hidden mist village. Away from all signs of danger.
