Suzume was more than willing to indulge her lover, content to bring Jun to orgasm at least once before they began the 'main course.'<br/><br/>She'd have her own fun soon enough, but for now it was just fine to teach her what she was missing all this time teasing her. The sparrow nin fucked her harder with her finger, dragging her fingertip along the bottom of her inner walls before turning her palm around and, in every sense of the word, telling Jun to come hither. Her finger bent as she sucked, kissed, and licked on the wolf kunoichi's clit. Suzume motioned as if to bring her fingertip to her own lips, pleasuring Jun from both within and without.<br/><br/>Her eyes mischevious, she lifted her wrist and added another finger, plunging them within Jun until her knuckle met the woman's lips. From there she started a new rythym. Suzume herself was downright sopping wet in anticipation.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>As Kaname took a leap, the hewn tree fell into the bushes below, creating destruction where it went. Again, she summoned her chakra and hurled it towards the man. This time, he had no senses to avoid the attack. The blast struck the remnants of the cloven tree, bursting it into pieces and throwing the man off his perch.<br/><br/>His greatsword landed on the ground beneath the wrecked tree as he collided with another trunk and landed on a branch, falling to his knees. He took one step up and then stood upright, little cackles of electrical energy flaring from his cloak. He looked up, right at Kaname with a menacing eye. It seemed he was in the middle of unbandaging his eye when she attacked. As he was now, he glared at her with an iris that was solid gold.<br/><br/>He took one step forward, appearing ready to pounce and resume his attack, when he suddenly stopped. His eye cloudily morphed to a pattern of red splotches on cream, and he said in that same grating tone,<strong>"HAMEDO."</strong><br/><br/>The figure whirled around, white smoke again enshrouding his hand. He embedded an axe deeply into the skull of a bizare monster. Its crown was adorned with many horns, a featureless woman's face, with four arms, a woman's voluptous figure and the lower body of a snake or worm. He pinned it into the side of the tree, the impact of his blade causing a few of the beast's horns to puncture deep into the trunk. The creature shrieked, arms clawing in panic as he kept the pressure on.<br/><br/>His eye lazily shifted back into its gold color.<br/><br/>Suddenly, he let go off the axe, the demon screeching as it was freed. The cloaked man's hands once again summoned a weapon, slashing at the beast again and again with a ninja-to. After four hits with the blade, he lifted his arm up for a downright strike... but the creature moaned and swayed, thoroughly bloodied and with the axe still protruding from its skull. It crumpled lifelessly off the other branch and into the brush below.<br/><br/>However fearsome that monster appeared, he dispatched it within a moment. Kaname suddenly felt something gently on her shoulder... a small, crimson, child-like hand, detached from the body.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Move Action from last round: Activate 'See Chakra'<br/>Damage that you didn't roll: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3614995/ (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3614995/)<br/>Energy Resistance Applies.

This was the man Kaname now fought, younger and less malformed. He still had his jaw, went without his headgear and was a few scars short. He wore a fine tunic over a ninja outfit, with sandals, a shuriken holster and belt pouch.<br/><br/>With him, a young boy in his teens, also tall, with dark hair and two different eyes- one green and one blue. He was clad in a simpler outfit, but with the same gear. In his hands a kunai. "Ryoichi-sama..."<br/><br/>"Mm?" The man replied, placing a longsword on his shoulder. "You promised me you'd teach me that style." The boy asked.<br/><br/>"Which one? Kumogakure's Seven Swords dance?" The youth nodded his head. Ryoichi laughed, "Oh, Shirō. Hah, you're no swordsman. You might manage one, or even two blades. But in such a manner, the technique is useless." The boy shook his head and more emphatically added, "You're right. I'm no swordsman. And I could never manage to master the technique. Ninjutsu is my natural talent. Which is why..."<br/><br/>"Which is why, if I lose my fingers- or something like that, I need to be able to fight still."<br/><br/>"Mm!" The man replied, "You're wrong about one thing... You never had any natural talent. It was the Bansentennin that gave you your gift for Ninjutsu."<br/><br/>The boy looked away, frowning, "But today is your lucky day!" Ryoichi said, "These heavenly gifts are in abundance, and so I will bestow upon you one more. Listen carefully..."<br/><br/>Elsewhere, back in the present, Yasuo led the old man towards the prison block. In the middle of the night, there were few people in the ninja police jail- and none with Yasuo in the prison block. He brought the middle-aged shinobi to a row of chairs on the opposite side of the cells, where prisoners waited for their paperwork to be complete when they were to be released.<br/><br/>Yasuo went over towards a cell with the keys to open it up for the prisoner. Shirō Mengishii abandoned his glum stare at the floor, opening one blue eye... and then another green one. He stood up and crouched low, bringing the manacles to his heels. Lifting one knee up to his chest, and then the other, the man maneuvered the cuffs to his front.<br/><br/>Yasuo heard something as he turned the key in the cell door, his eyes widened and he whirled around... just as a needle flew forth to puncture his chest. He groaned in surprise, gritting his teeth in pain. He took one step, reaching for his kunai when the man was already upon him, placing a hard kick firmly on the young chuunin's torso, right in his solar plexus, throwing the youth's back to the cell bars.<br/><br/>Having drawn his kunai, Yasuo did the first thing that occurred to him. Fight back. Still in pain from the poisoned needle, he moved forward to attack but his wrist only found the man's ankle as he swung. Before he could react, he was pushed back with another kick. He coughed up blood, remembering now that he'd been poisoned by the man once today already... He was again pushed against the bars, with nowhere to go without provoking another hit. The young ninja had just moments before the assault would continue. He reached into his pocket, where he kept the key to the manacles. Holding his kunai weakly in defense, the Chuunin dropped the key into his mouth and then shut it, holding his hand over his lips to keep them from parting.<br/><br/>Suddenly, the man left an opening, lowering his guard for a moment. Yasuo took it, bringing his kunai forth for a jab when it too was blocked. The man spun around, kicking out the young Chuunin's leg out from under him. He fell, grabbing at the bars for support and twisting sideways.<br/><br/>His balance thrown off, Yasuo was just getting his bearings when Shirō had taken one step behind him. The cold metal of the manacles slipped under his jaw- the chain digging deep into the soft flesh of his neck as the man brought his wrists backwards, choking the young Chuunin and hurling him backwards against the man's thighs.<br/><br/>As Yasuo choked, the man looked coldly at the door to the other room. Other ninja police wouldn't be far away... As the man kept watch for anyone who might go through that door, there was much struggling and anguish... until at last, a sound of spraying pierced the relative silence of the room, and blood squirted on the iron bars and the floor. The torrent continued for a long time, outlasting the Chuunin's panicked struggles and contortions until there was no sound or motion remaining in the room.<br/><br/>Shirō relaxed, letting the body gently slump. The man was dressed as he was when they caught him, a plain dark grey ninja outfit, sleeves rolled up and fishnet beneath, sandals and emptied pouch and holster. He was tall and slender, middle-aged with short hair, graying at the temples, with two differently colored eyes... one blue, one green. Blood was everywhere.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Shirō uses Improved Plan. 29 = +4<br/>Declaration of War: Fukumihari, Attack; 26, Damage; 1, Poison; Hachidoku<br/>Yasuo's Fort Save....

Sakumo kept up and soon overtook her, hopping from one tree to the next ahead of her. "Look!" He shouted, pointing up ahead. Even without the Byakugan, the kunoichi could see it. Imouto, her back against the tree as before, remained unconscious and apparently unharmed.<br/><br/>The Hyuuga nin passed by the corpse of a strange many-headed lamprey-like creature. A terrifying foe to face, if the many rows of teeth and fangs were of any indication. She went by another corpse, that of a demonic woman with an elongated neck hanging lifelessly off the branch. Two more corpses, each as monstrous as the last, were nearby off the route.<br/><br/>Sakumo got there first, kneeling down to check Imouto's injuries. Looking towards the other kunoichi, he said, "Mari... She's completely unharmed." He took her in his arms and stood upright as he would carry a bride. His eyes turned to the corpses surrounding them, "All fearsome creatures. There are benign spirits in these places, but they would not risk their lives on account for this girl."
