				OOC: Ok, finally managing to get this up and rolling! Now, the first thing that I'm doing is sorting the existing good guys into teams. These teams are based on our current roll-call, and may shift based on who ends up getting back to me on still being in the game.<br><br><span class="bbc_u">Team 1:</span><br>Captain: Shinigawa Daisuke<br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Hyuuga Hitomi</li><li>Tombaki Dain</li><li>Tosen Tsubaki</li></ul><br><span class="bbc_u">Team 2:</span><br>Captain: Arashi Kuma<br><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Uchiha Karasu</li><li>Uzumaki Nanase</li><li>Juro Takeshi</li></ul><br>If/when Marie finishes her character, she'll obviously be added to Team 1. As mentioned, these teams will also be edited as game membership changes. I tried to balance gender as best as possible, as well as abilities (I tried to make sure each team had short- and long-range combatants, trackers, etc). Leaders were chosen based on a combination of character rank and age; Arashi Kuma and Shinigawa Daisuke were the oldest jounin characters, and were thus chosen as squad leaders.<br><br>We have a character page: Character Sheet (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=141046.msg6324373#new)<br><br>I'll add an OOC if the game starts getting too bogged down.

				Karasu was the first to arrive at the location designated for the taskforce to gather. Their orders had been for each shinobi to take a different route to the meeting point, so as to minimize hearsay of shinobi on the move. Their targets were highly skilled, and at least one of them would know what kinds of signs to watch for. The longer knowledge of pursuit could be hidden, the better. Indeed, a threat leading four of the five great villages to send representatives to this taskforce was clearly worth taking seriously. All four nations had suffered at the hands of the missing-nin they were going to be hunting.<br><br>Karasu did not look particularly out of the ordinary for a Konoha jounin. While his shirt was sleeveless, the traditional flak jacket covered it, just as his Leaf-nin forehead protector held back his wavy mane of black hair. His pants and sandals were rather plain, and while the metal plates on the backs of his gloves were a little odd, they were by no means extraordinary. However, those who knew what to look for would recognize the tattoo on his left arm as that of Konoha's ANBU, as well as the utilitarian ninjato strapped across his back. While his stance spoke of an easy-going individual enjoying a walk in the woods, there was a lazy grace about him that spoke more of a wolf in the forest than a hiker.

				Hyuga Hitomi left earlier than Karasu did, but took her sweet time on the journey and arrived a little later than the other Konoha Jounin. The girl had long violet hair, pale skin, and the familiar white eyes of the Hyuga clan. She wore her usual purple outfit and with her was all of her medical supplies. She spotted Karasu rather quickly. She managed a small smile. She wanted to wave and greet him with enthusiasm, but their mission called for them to blend in. So she remained quiet until she was close to him. She tilted her head to the side and some of her hair fell over her shoulder.<br><br>"Hello Karasu-kun." she greeted.

				He moved on the wind silently, the pace had always been slower than his comrades and he imagined he would be late... He was always late. Moving from branch to branch he was also more quiet than his comrades and when he heard voices just a little off he dropped down and moved to a side point so he could watch the pair from just a little ways away.<br><br><br><em>"Hello Karasu-kun." </em><br><br>He placed his finger to his chin, tapping it Karasu... Karasu, oh thats right hidden leaf Jounin. Uchiha, he mouthed the word, he had heard of their martial prowess and their incredible eyes, and had actually enjoyed the pleasure of fighting one on a mission... Six, maybe eight months ago... Again he got lost in thought tapping his chin again...<br><br>...Right no eye contact with that one... Now where were the others, he wanted to see his entire squad before he revealed himself, a more comfortable setting provided him with an ability to see how his new "comrades" were naturally and how best to utilize their abilities... Recon was important even for team mates.

				Daisuke had been sent out a little earlier than the rest of the crew that was going to the meeting point. His commanding officer told him it was to ensure that the area was safe, so doing as he was told he left out in full tracker gear with his mask on along with all of his equipment. A white streak from his mask was all that was visible as he made his way through the forest of death with him passing a couple of genin and one chunin as he quickly got out of range of Konoha. Using his chakra channeling, all of it was currently in his legs to give him strong pushes off the trees around him as well as making him much faster than most others could travel through the trees. His first priority was to scope out the meeting area and then his secondary objective was to kill or disable any enemy ninja that he happened to find there. Knowing that if there were enemies there, it was likely that they were going to have information on them that would tell them either about the enemy or internal conflicts, so he was leaning towards disabling and then interrogating later. It took him about 12 hours to make it to the meeting place at the border of several of the respective countries that were going to arrive at the summit.<br><br>Nothing was out of the ordinary at first glance, but then that was to be expected if the enemy ninja was anything worth their salt. He did Shadow Clone Jutsu to make two copies of himself to head out to the surrounding areas to check it out properly. It ended up that things were fine but that they were going to need to be monitored till after the summit which meant that it was unlikely that he was actually going to be there at the summit in person at least. The two clones dispelled so that he would have full knowledge of the area even though they had signaled to him that all was well. He waited in the trees getting his strength back from the travels as well as from using the clones though they had not been taxing on him all that much.<br><br>After the first people had arrived he got up from his napping state and made a Shadow Clone that he sent to go be in the trees close to them before it dropped down to talk to the group not letting on that he was not the real one as that was key to making the enemy should they be there, believe it as well. "Well hello you all, Uchiha Karasu, Hyuuga Hitomi. We still have a few minutes till everyone arrives it seems. I am Shinagawa Daisuke, from Konoha. So far the area is clear but we can't be too sure regarding the nature of the mission that we are about to undertake. I suggest neither of you trust anyone you may encounter on this mission not even me. We have no idea what the enemy is capable of, whether it be illusion or puppetry." <br><br>He looked between them and then at the clearing around them, before his eyes once more came to the girl. "You should have security, especially with your standing in your family. Is there a branch family member that is going to be arriving to take care of that or is there someone overlooking you that we should know about?" He knew about her standing in the clan since she came from his village and in any ninja village it was important to know who were potential targets and of value. Karasu was not his concern since he was from the Uchiha clan and was of ANBU or better standing. Uchiha's were still thriving in the village and to Daisuke's knowledge Karasu was not the heir meaning that he was much less fragile than the Hyuuga heiress that they had with them at the moment.

				Hitomi turned her attention to Daisuke. She gave him a small bow in return and also a smile. She was rather quick to respond to his question.<br><br>"My name is Hyuga Hitomi. I suppose that my tracking ability with my Byakugan. However, its also important that you know that I'm a medical-nin as well." she answered. She was used to giving much longer introductions. She would mention bein the heiress to her clan and her high mission sucess rate. Still, she was asked to just mention one thing. She mentioned two, but both were important anyway.

				As Daisuke spoke to his fellow ninja about an ice breaker someone moved in from the opposite direction the group had been traveling. Since she was currently the only one from her village to show up Tsubaki did seem a bit disappointed, noone she would be friends with had come so she was screwed when it came to having someone to talk to right away. Instead of dwelling on that however she quickly scanned her fellow ninja as she adjusted the headband she had around her neck. There was an Uchiha aswell as a Hyuuga who seemed to both be fairly friendly, not to mention what looked to be a leader of the group, or at least he seemed to have a lot more experience than she did.<br><br>In order to establish herself somewhat Tsubaki spoke up as she casually stepped over, smiling at everyone as she did her best to look relaxed. "Hello everyone, I'm Tsubaki and I'm a pretty good tracker myself, I'm also skilled at close quarters combat and support." She did her best to give a smile to everyone, though she did glance a bit more than normal to most of the male teammates. It was partially to see if they were looking her over since she wouldn't mind reciprocating for a little chakra, however she did stop for a moment as she looked at the Hyuuga girl, maybe it was because she seemed pretty cute, Tsubaki guessed it was more her own inner fire kicking in. She would have to do her best to avoid being too much of a flirt, at least not on such a serious mission.<br><br>After her introduction Tsubaki gently sighed and looked at the man who seemed to be their current leader (Daisuke) and waited patiently to see who else would speak up. It wasn't that she was nervous but it was more she didn't want to make a bad impression, especially on people she would have to work with a bit in order to succeed in this mission.

				<div align="center">(http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/2856/uzumakinanaseavatar.jpg)<br><span style="font-size: 16pt;" class="bbc_size">Uzumaki Nanase (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=136689.msg6198419#msg6198419)</span></div><br>Nanase-hime was seated in front of a small dressing table in her bedroom, with a kage bushin combing her hair. She woke up early, excited with the important mission assigned to her. One step closer to fulfill her dream. Damn, she could even get the jounin title after that one. Nanase giggled while thinking in these, making her kage bushin looking at her reflection in the mirror with a puzzled face.<br><br><strong>"Ohayou, Onee-chan!!"</strong><br><br><strong>"Uh?"</strong> Nanase turned to the window, only to see a young blonde boy with vivid blue eyes tucked in a orange jacket, smiling at her. <strong>"Eiji-kun? What you're doing here so early?"</strong>, Nanase asked, glad that he didn't peek her in a more... embarrassing moment. The boy stepped into the room and said cheerfully: <strong>"Well, I thought that Onee-chan could teach me the rasengan today."</strong><br><br>The kage bushin finally ended combing her hair and Nanase released it, making it disappear in a white smoke. Then, turning to Eiji, she said: <strong>"Sorry, Eiji-kun. No classes for today. I'm already leaving for a important mission. Why don't you look for granddad? He would help you."</strong><br><br><strong>"That old geezer? No, thanks! He doesn't know how to teach anything. He just yells!"</strong>, the boy said, crossing his arms, disappointed. Nanase gave him a good punch on his forehead. <strong>"Baka! Is that the way you talk about our grandfather? Respect your family, dattebane!"</strong> <br><br>Eiji just rubbed his forehead to ease the pain. Nanase picked up her red overcoat and put it on in a neat single movement that made her big breasts bounce a little. He looked at them mesmerized. <strong>"Besides, who do you think that teached me the rasengan? He is the best teacher you could have."</strong>, she said, finishing to adjust the overcoat on her. Seeing the dumb expression on Eiji's face, she asked: <strong>"Ano... Eiji-kun? Are you listening?"</strong><br><br><strong>"Onee-chan's boobs... they look amazing today. Would Onee-chan please let me touch them a little?"</strong>, he said with a blush on his face. Eiji was staring at Nanase's breasts in such a enticed manner that he missed the stress mark forming on her forehead.<br><br><strong>"YUUREI RASENGAN!!"</strong><br><br>The poor boy couldn't follow Nanase's speed with his genin eyes. Of course she didn't put her strength in the blow, or else she could really have injured him. But Eiji flew through the window, and falling from the first floor probably gave him some bruises. Nanase didn't care. Maybe he learned the lesson. <br><br><strong>"Mom? I'm leaving! See you soon!"</strong>, Nanase yelled and then jumped through the window. She hated to face her mom and say goodbye when going to a mission. Maybe it was her worried face or her countless advices. Whatever it was, Nanase just preferred to leave like that and hear her scold later in her return. Nanase knew how she would feel with her only daughter in dangerous situations. After all, the husband that she lost in a mission was her dad. But, Nanase couldn't turn her back to the will of fire that burned through her heart. That was the only way she wanted to live, right? Landing on the floor, she looked at Eiji and said: <strong>"Bye, bye, Eiji-kun. Good luck in your lessons with Granddad!"</strong><br><br>Then, she left running in the streets. <strong>"Outta my way!! I'm in a important mission, dattebane!"</strong>, she yelled, while avoiding bump in the passersby. After crossing Konoha's gateway, she took a time to catch her breath and though, grinning: "Ok, that's it! Do a great job, Nanase, and become the next Hokage!" <br><br>Nanase went to the location assigned for gather as quickly as she could, hopping from tree to tree, not stopping to rest. After a while, she reached the spot, finding a small group there. Jumping in the middle of them, she yelled: <strong>"Uzumaki Nanase, reporting for duty!!"</strong>

				Takeshi Juro of the Chishio clan was the only ninja they sent for the task. The only ninja that came from the Village of the Mist, due to the fact that their top agents were the majority that had gone missing, including his former squad member and squad leader. There was no conflict, no goodbyes, she left without a single word and he even less. He knew what was expected of him and he knew what it entailed, it was regrettable and it was unpleasant to think of. His eyes looked at his right hand silently thinking back upon something during those times spent. His mind went straight into the mission at hand and the creed of the Chishio. He had be instructed to follow it and to make it his own creed. <br><br>Leaping his way from tree to tree he took as much stealth as he could which was the reason why he was even more late then the famed one from the Leaf Village. When he got within visible range he sat down upon one of the branches and peered down at the lot of them. Assessing and trying to make note of their allegiances and what potential they had based on whatever intel he had been granted. He kept to himself mostly as he spoke up with a disinterested voice <strong>"Juro of the Mists checking in."</strong> Anyone who noted him would probably be drawn instantly to the rank insignia and of his village. The Mist Village had only sent one Chuunin, not even one Jounin was sent for this task. And by the looks of him a deeply disturbed one at that. <br><br>His eyes were a soft golden color with short black hair. His skin looked slightly pale then most skin complexions and behind a black mask one could not see the lower half of his face. His arms were covered in bandages that looked as though they had been worn already for they had the slight mark of fresh blood upon them. What skin was bare upon his arms and hands looks to have shown extensive scarring and every so often his right hand twitched out of reflex and remembering what kind of pain remained within him. They could see that his nails were grafted with steel as well which must have been torture to install. He wore dark blacks upon his torso in the form of a vest with buckles at the side. His feet were sheathed in steel toed boots. His eyes swept over them once again, saying nothing like how a vulture looks to see if a person is weak enough to eat off of yet.

				Dain Tombaki looked wide eyed on Ōnoki Tsuchikage in his office, stunned upon hearing the briefing of his mission he shouts; "Your asking me do <em>what</em>?! Join team of jounins and chuunings to chase this freaking dangerous guy! I am <em>genin</em> if you did not happen notice! This mission is way off my skills!" Ōnoki stared daggers on Dain who was standing in his office while he sit on his comfortable chair and said; "Your genin because your lazies shinobi in whole ninja world Dain! You go to this mission; this is final decision! all my other jounins are in operations and none chuunins have S rank mission done succesfully before!" Dain groans, Ōnoki means that one mission years ago where he certainly should had died but since then he had not done even single S mission but dozen other missions where he has operated alone. Some near S rank accidental increases have occured occassions but he has survived so far by his luck and survival instincts in suicidal circumstances.<br><br>Dain continues; "I certainly run instant we find the guy, I am not going fight him! I get damn killed!" Ōnoki then made a nasty grin and added; "If you run off before mission is completed and have guts come back here.....I kill you personally. If you do not leave my office, nay, the village under ten seconds..." His words sends chill to Dain's spine and Ōnoki formed seals in his hands and Dain screamed and jumped out of the window and started run for his life! He ran pretty fast leaping roofs and towers and sliding along walls but he did not get out before tenth second and then from office window Ōnoki started launch solid earth boulders from earth cannon technique! Boulders blew up near him and continued bombard until he was out from village premise! With banthing breath he groaned; "Damn...my...life!"<br><br>Ōnoki smirked on disappearing silhuette of Dain and grumpled; "Start grow up kid and move head off the clouds, then maybe you could become jounin."<br><br><em>Later on meeting point...</em><br><br>Dain stumbled in the woods, he remembers he had to meet the team there. He was told most would be from Konohan and rest from other villages. But he was not told much and he pondered whom he would meet. His noisy approach is easily detected along with held back curse when he stepped something smelly and big pile of....something. Dain is not sure and he truly does not want to know. But despite rubbing his sandal everywhere the stench sticked on his foot remind him he is way out of his usual waters and environment. He comes between the trees, noticing two girls and one guy with curious eyes, and then another guy with bandages in his hands. Upon seeing Konohan headbands he says; "Oh, seems I came last huh? Well, Dain Tombaki from Iwagakure. Hello I guess." Dain wore his headband on his head and he wore a thin metal mask cover lower half of his face and he carried his katana on his back. His white hair sticked out forward but he had darker hair in back, his front white hair was result from accident years ago. A direct heavy impact to his head front side. His grey eyes looked everyone and he started quickly list names inside his head;<br><br><em>Takeshi Juro....Uzumaki Nanase...Uchiha Karasu....lots big names, damn.</em>
