Wolfgang stood there, looking foward through his hard mask, seeing the wall and listening to the man speak to him, he was a Jounin being handed down a mission to Wolfgang, his voice was stern but not angry or hateful in any sort of way, due to the mask hiding who he was, Howaito was where Wolfgang once was, but the mask was on only until his mission started due to not needing any anbu activity and that he was going to be taking his hopeful future pupil, the man in the kiri flak jacket said to him in a stern voice, You are to take the genin, Kusono Kaguya, since this mission is only a B rank and we feel you are more then able to do it by yourself, the genin really deserves some experiance, so you will take the Elder of the Land of waves, and take him to the capital of the land of waves, they are passing some laws that will up the amount of policing and the working mist ninja there, there is a major crime problem there and the extra laws would help out the area, though the elder is needed for the meetings and debates and at the end the signing of the papers, we need him to get there safe and sound and not hurt at all, he better get there very nicely and not cut up, there isnt going to be much problems on the road, only bandits in the rarest case and you can deal with them cant you Howaito....or Miho now go, you have 2 weeks to finish the mission, that includes the walk back He nodded to him and he kneeled and jumped into the air, landing on the top of the building above, he started running to the meeting area that he had stated in the Letter that he sent Kusono, his letter read, Dear Kusono, meet me outside the village at mid day, i am to do a mission with you, bring any weapons or gear that you will need, and try to wear something warm, we will be going a long way out, from Wolf it was short and curt, and right to the point, he wasnt exchanging pleasantries but he had no reason to be rude, so as he ran he looked up and then again relized that his mask was still on, he took it off and put it on his hip under his cloak, today he wore a large black fur cloak that covered all of his body and had a massive hood and the Kiri symbol on its back, underneath his robe he wore the anbu armor and on his leg his headband was wrapped, he also wore fingerless leather gloves, that were made special on the missing two finger part that there was no holes as to still look normal, he had gotten two wool fingers sewed onto the gloves to make it appear that he had his fingers...he really cared not but he was no apt to let his enemies know his weakness.

Now Wolf reached the front gate where the old man was already waiting for him, old and small and frail, but his face looked as if it were chipped from flint and his eyes were water colored but strong, he was a strong man for his age, he wore a blue cloak made of velvet, as to try and stay warm, there was a hood on his head that covered a large ponytail that was the color of soot and ash, he was not nice persay, which made it easy to do the job, the man looked at him and nodded and wolf nodded as they stood and waited for the genin to come and meet them, they both were patient enough that they needed no talk or anything to help them wait...

The Kaguya clan compound was a large tower surrounded by gates and housing units. It was built in the typical oriental fashion. It's tower was four floors high, with a straight spire resting at the top. Each floor had a main building with a balcony surrounding it. The roofs of each sprawled out over the balcony, creating a canopy of sorts, shading them. The roofs where mostly black tiled, the wood used shown a deep red despite the many years the building had stood there. The tower was gated, with guards posted at the only front entrance. This tower served as the clan head's home and the administrative side of the compound. Where the talks of the elders and high ranking clansmen met to discuss politics. Pay from the clan ninja also flowed and was managed through the tower. The housing units surrounding the tower where well furnished. Each one was a medium sized house lined up in neat rows, side by side. Houses varied in color and number of floors. The entire compound could have stood as it's own small neighborhood. It's streets had venders and a few shops. This was where Kusono lived and was raised.

Kusono's was a two story house. Where his mother and father slept in the first floor and he in the top floor. His room was simple. A bed positioned across from an open sliding glass door which lead to a balcony. A desk to the right of the glass door which was littered with scrolls, papers, and various notes Kusono took. A bedside table fit with a lamp. And a single lighting fixture in the middle of the ceiling. That comprised his bedroom.

Kusono woke to find a note on his bedside table. It looked official. Shifting the covers of his bed over he grabbed the letter in his hands, exposing his bare chest. He opened it and read it in his head.

Dear Kusono,

Meet me outside the village at mid day, i am to do a mission with you, bring any weapons or gear that you will need, and try to wear something warm, we will be going a long way out.

From Wolf

It seemed he had a mission with his new sensei, Wolf. He and another genin had sparred with his at the training grounds only a little more than a week ago. He was a very skilled ninja, even a part of Kiri's ANBU unit. The note was enough to catch his attention and raised some important questions. Who where his new teammates? Was Wolf as good a sensei as he was a warrior? Discarding the covers and giving a harty yawn, Kusono prepared to find out.

Within a half hour Kusono was showered, dressed, and finishing his breakfast which consisted of a bowl of rice, meats, vegetables, and broth. A healthy and nutritious way to start his day. When he finished his meal he began to take his dishes to the sink where they would be washed. His Father, Setzu Kaguya happened to walk into the kitchen. His father was a Stern man in his mid thirties. His hair was a tad grayer than Kusono's . He wore a complete white kimono robe. It's lips held together with a black belt. His pant's where the typical black ninja pants and he brandished a pair of black boots. Setzu ran a hand through his shoulder length hair and smoothed it down, so it falled gracefully and framed his face. "Good morning son, why are you up this early?"
"I have a mission and a sensei, father" Kusono responded, handing the letter to his father. He opened it and ran his eyes across the hand writing. "Well, a B-rank as your first mission should challenge you nicely. I know you can do it Kusono. Show everyone the strength of the Kaguya clan, and make us proud." His father said handing the letter back and placing his hand on his son's shoulder with a smile. "Nothing would make me happier, father" Kusono responded, grabbing a black hooded cloak and his backpack for the journey and heading to the door.

It took him only a few minutes to get to the meeting place, the front gates of the hidden mist village. He saw Wolf and another man awaiting his arrival. When he was a few feet away, he greated them, clad in his usual attire of a black and red kimono held together with his purple corded belt. His black pants and shoes poked out the bottom of the black hooded robe he wore. Along with a few strands of his silver hair that his hood hid. "Greetings, Wolf. I did not know that you where going to be my sensei. Where are my other teammates?" Kusono said casually.

WC: 802/2500

As they waited, they saw Kusono coming up in the distance, the old man gave Wolfgang an odd look, and he nodded slowly and the mans face relaxed as the old man realized that even if this was the kids first mission, he was chosen by Wolfgang himself which meant a lot in terms of strengh. As the kid got close noticed that the kid had at the very least taken his advice in dressing warm, due to the fact that they were going to be cold as they went to the land of waves, though Wolf wouldnt feel it, the kid would. "Greetings, Wolf. I did not know that you where going to be my sensei. Where are my other teammates?" The kid was funny, unless this was actually a serious question, Wolfgang only had one teamate thus far, he was still looking for a another or even two more, but to this point Kusono was the only one on his team, and this mission would be just him, the old man and Wolfgang, Wolfgang laughed deeply, sounding almost like a rumble with the deepness of his voice, he then told Kusono, Its just me and you, and the elder of course, i didnt find that we needed anymore, i belive that your power and mine are more then enough for a B rank mission, and of course, Kusono this is the Elder from the Land of Waves, are mission is too escort him there and make sure that he doesnt die or get injured along the way, we are too defend him from the common Bandits and Cutpurses, there is only the danger of low class men, though you are a genin, i expect you to be able to kill a man that is trying to take the elders life, if you fuck up you can die...blah blah blah, you know the speech, are you ready to go he said the last part to the Elder and Kusono, the Elders rock face gave no expression, though he did nod, this elder was his kind of man in total, he was like an old version of himself, he looked at the silver haired genin with his own white and silver eyes, running his hand threw his dark blue hair, pushing it back making it into a flow, his hair had grown real long since he was younger...he only now wondered if Kusono would be able to kill a man...

"Its just me and you, and the elder of course, i didnt find that we needed anymore, i believe that your power and mine are more then enough for a B rank mission, and of course, Kusono this is the Elder from the Land of Waves, are mission is too escort him there and make sure that he doesn't die or get injured along the way, we are too defend him from the common Bandits and Cutpurses, there is only the danger of low class men, though you are a genin, i expect you to be able to kill a man that is trying to take the elders life, if you fuck up you can die...blah blah blah, you know the speech, are you ready to go?"

Well, that was indeed interesting. Kusono expected to be placed with other genin among Wolf's squad, but instead Wolf is to teach him individually. It was not unusual for higher up ninja to take only a single pupil. It actually seemed like the most logical and efficient way to mentor a ninja. Kusono would rather work one-on-one with his teacher than have to vie for his attention among two other teammates. This way Wolf could teach Kusono uninterrupted, sharing his knowledge and teachings more effectively. Kusono gave a small smirk when he heard this, which dissipated within seconds.

Wolf then pointed out the old man that would be traveling with them. The mission was to escort the elder and make sure no harm was done to the old man. It seemed simple enough. The worst they had to fear where bandits. Kusono was confident he could take on multiple bandits should the need arise. Wolf, on the other hand, could take on full fledged assassins. Bandits would be no problem for the giant ANBU agent. Kusono was more than capable of taking a life. Even more so to prove his worth to not only his new sensei, but also to his clan. He would do it gladly, and with a smile. "No need to worry, sensei. I'm more than ready to fight anything that gets in our way." Kusono turned to the elder and introduced himself with his full name. "Your safety is assured, elder." Kusono would say, giving a slight nod."Shall we go?" Kusono said, presenting the path before them.

WC:802+394=1196

"No need to worry, sensei. I'm more than ready to fight anything that gets in our way." that was good, that meant that Kusono wouldnt embarrass him, that was good he was not in the mood to get embarrassed in front of an elder, after he finished talking the elder looked at him and raised an eyebrow at him, Wolfgang shrugged and the old man laughed at that, the elder then said to the boy, Hmm if you fight near as good as you boast yourself, we should no problem, ad you are right we should be going right about now  Wolfgang liked the feel of this old man, he had something about him that made them actually get along, though there wasnt time for it, since they did actually have to leave now, he started walking...taking point and hoping that Kusono had the sense to take the rear, they had a long walk ahead of them, around a week at maxium, and 4 days walking non stop, so it would take a week since the elder would like to sleep more and find a motel...it would show in time...
-Second Day-

As they walked down the mist covered road, he noticed the buildings around him, this was a small old village outpost, that was long abandoned from the last conflict, people generally avoided being here due to the creepy area, there was no one anywhere on the roads and the buildings were old and  ramshackle, the sky was misting slightly as it usually did, since they were still in the mist country the weather wouldnt change till they got to their location, as he walked down the road the old man behind him was matching his pace calmly, thankfully this man wasnt a sook or a frail geezer, he could keep up with the two ninja easily, and as they walked down the wet almost mud road he saw two girls in rags walking down the road, one had black hair and the other had light blue hair, on their bodies they wore brown rags neck down, they wore it shaggy and unkept, he saw that there was a slight bulge on their sleeves, that showed they had weapons and meant that they werent just beggers, but he wanted to see what kusono saw, he doubted that a genin would notice the weapons or the look in their eyes, they were looking at the old man, when in reality one would look at either the large man or the ninja behind him, he turned back to the genin that he had taken as a pupil and told him in a deep voice, Hey either of them to your tastes boy, aha the old man joined in the laughter as well, the girls were just getting close as they finished laughing, he wanted to test this genin, to see his skills in real use...
1500/2500

"Hmm if you fight near as good as you boast yourself, we should no problem, ad you are right we should be going right about now", the elder said as he took his spot in the middle. Naturally Kusono was to bring up the rear, safeguarding the elder between the two shinobi. The outside of the village was covered in overgrowth. The mists of the village helping to grow an overabundance of flora. Kusono himself enjoyed going into the wilderness around Kirigakure, it was calming and personal. Helping to relieve stress or just to serve as a relaxing outing. Even during a mission the wilderness still had the same ability. He was not worried or tense about his upcoming mission. Just as wolf said, the worst they would run into where bandits, or they may even go unhindered, who knew.Nevertheless they had a few days walk until they could safely hand over the elder to his meeting place and return back to claim their reward.

Kusono tightened the strings on his cloak, pulling the fabric tighter to his skin. Keeping out the wet of the mist. The hair that poked out of the cloak was already getting damp, Kusono having to take out his poney tail and re-arrange it on more than one occasion. Sometimes living in Kiri was such a drag.

-Second Day-

Kusono's matted cloak swung with his body with every step he took. Breathing in a steady stream of wet air. Their group had come across what looks to be a small abandoned village. It was a welcome sight to say the least. Kusono had nothing but leaves and the back of the elders cloak to look at for the better part of the day. The village was broken down as they passed through it's small gate. The gates wooden structure compromised over years of poor maintenance. Some boards already falling off, others where warped out of shape from the mist. The buildings where in better shape, although not up to par with the decency that the village must have been when it was built. They ranged from small shacks to a few decently large houses. All missing windows which where long ago broken. The doors of some where still ajar giving him a small insight into the disheveled insides of the buildings. Most things where broken inside. Glass from the windows lay about the floor. A few wooden furnishings where there, still in better condition than the exterior of their dwelling. Kusono grimaced, maybe a fire had taken the villlage, or a bandit attack. Whatever had happened, it was long ago.

Returning his eyes back to the road leading through the village, Kusono saw the forms of two shaped. They where shorted and skinnier than himself and Wolf, they looked to be female by they long hair that dripped from the opening of their hoods. One had black hair, the other blue. They both sported brown rags as cloaks. They appeared to be beggars. Kusono wasn't stupid. What kind of beggar would pick an abandoned place to find handouts. He kept his guard up nevertheless, his green eyes locked on to them from the fringes of his hood. Any sign of hostility from them would be met with greater force. He would not fail at his first mission.

Just to be sure, Kusono hardened a small layer of bone under the epidermis layer of his skin and began slowly forming his signature dagger under his clothing. None of this would be visible to the two strangers."Hey either of them to your tastes boy, aha" came a remark from Wolf."I'm afraid I'm not into homeless women. I like my girls with a little more class" Kusono retorted with a smirk. All the while eyeing the pair.
WC:802+394+632=1828

120/150:

"I'm afraid I'm not into homeless women. I like my girls with a little more class" His new apprentice answered him to his question, He laughed out loud as well as the old man, though he looked at the arm of the genin as he created a weapon out of bone, though the girls didnt notice, he didnt miss it, As spec jounin he had learned to catch these things, though the girls were getting close to them now, so he turned his head to his escortee and whispered to the elder, Watch out, these two may be dangerous, watch out i got you the elder nodded and kept his flinty eyes looking forward and fearless, this man was just like him...

He kept walking forward and looked at the two girls, he saw the blue haired one on the left, he yawned  and looked back at Kusono and signalled with his hand that he would be taking the blue haired on and then looked back just as they were only 4 feet in front of them, he nodded at them and said to them in a calm voice, trying his best to act nice and polite, Hey Ladies, what are you two doing in this area....and why the Katars as the girls got close their eyes flared in anger and hate, they both attacked him at the same time, their Katars flashing up at him aimed for his abdomen, the moment they got close he saw a liquid on the blade, knew that it was poison, he vaulted over the girls shoulders and jumping behind them, he then double drop kicked them both sending the one with the blue hair into the ground, and the one with the black hair right towards Kusono, the old man jumped to the left and made sure that he tried to stay out of the oncoming battle, the black haired girl rolled out of the kick and jumped up in front of Kusono and his fight rolled in front of him as well...

The girl he was with looked at him dead in the eyes as she threw off her rough spun cloak and revealed ninja armour and on her head there was a ninja headband from the blood village, that meant she was an assassin of some sort, the girl made a hand sign and suddenly a large coat of water covered her blade and became 3 feet longer, the girl then jumped at him and slashed at him, aiming shoulder to groin, Wolfgang jumped high over it and landed behind the girl and grabbed her by the back of the neck and picked her up high and laughed as he threw her into one of the other buildings, destroying the rotten wood and glass in a thud.

The girl got back out and climbed out of the rubble, the armour on her chest protected her mostly , though her arms were slightly cut up and there was now a line of blood running down her face, though the look on her face didnt change, her eyes were filled with hate and anger, more so then before, after she freed herself she launched herself at him, her katar flashing at his throat, the purple liquid dripping off of it, he dodged the blade and then thought about his new genin, he actually kind of hoped that he wasnt in danger or that he would have some trouble with his fight.

As he dodged to the left he grabbed the slashing arm and brought it down upon his knee, snapping it like a little twig in a spray of blood as the bone came out of the arm, the ninja screamed in pain and went to stab him with the other, he swung around and kicked the other katar out of the girls hand with his massive boot, his boot had broken a good few fingers when he kicked it, he jumped back and then the girl made a pained handsign with broken fingers, but Wolfgang wasnt having that, right before she made her jutsu Wolfgang jumped forwards and grabbed her hands in mid handsign and squeezed, breaking the rest of the fingers and snapping the little bones in the hands and making the girl cry out in pain, he then spun her around and tied the broken hands in a knot with the rough spun cloak that she was wearing, then using what was left to tie her legs, he then grabbed the girl by the legs and threw the bleeding girl over her back and walked over to where the old man was, he then waited for the genin to either ask for help or finish his fight, he only wanted one survivor and didnt want the old man thinking that kusono was weak, so this was a small test for his apprentice, to see if he killed her or not...
2330/2500

His little joke was met with a hearty laugh by his new sensei and a small smirk by the elder. It was good to see that Wolf had a sense of humor at least. "Watch out, these two may be dangerous, watch out i got you." Wolf would say to both him and the elder. Wolf walked casually to the now armed girls aiming to dissuade them from attacking. Would it work? Most likely not. Kusono was up for a fight anyway."Hey Ladies, what are you two doing in this area....and why the Katars?" Wolf asked innocently. Giving a small yawn and a sign that the black haired one would be his if things turned south.

Simultaneously the both began an attack on wolf. Aiming their katars at his midsection, planing to spill the ANBU's guts. Dodging and vaulting over the two Wolf delivered a devastating drop kick to both of the assassins. The black haired assassins rolled to smoothen the landing. Choosing to go after the elder. But Kusono wouldn't allow that. Throwing off his cloak and his hakama he reveled his milky white chest. He took the place of the elder and ripped the partially protruding dagger from his shoulder, gripping it hard in his right hand. The assassin, now rid of the brown cloak, had the blood village's headband and sported armor. Well, looks like this mission would prove to be more entertaining then previously thought.

The assassin finished her roll, landing a few feet in front of Kusono, delivering a horizontal swipe with her katar to his exposed midsection. Kusono responded by taking a step back, clearing the small length of the blade. But, something warm and purple splashed across his stomach. What was it? No mater, the assassin came at him with a barrage of stabs and strikes. Each planning to kill the young genin. But each failed to hit their mark as Kusono bobbed and weaved. One blow was a vertical slice downward to his midsection. Kusono stepped inside the assassins arm, catching the wrist with his left and stabbing his dagger through the girl's bicep. A warm spray of blood showered the right side of his face as he hoisted the girl up and over his form, throwing her two meters away from him onto the ground. His dagger exited the assassins muscle with a sick splish.

The assassin hit the ground hard, making a loud grunt as she did. Kusono was no fool, this was when she was vulnerable. He sprinted to the girl, who despite her wound, stood with her katar raised in the other hand, on one knee. Letting loose two of his digits as small bullets, they sailed to the girl, striking her in the shoulder. This shook her balance and gave him the final opening he needed. The girl, now defenseless, felt the sweet embrace of death. Kusono swiped his dagger across her exposed throat, severing the trachea and one of the carotid arteries. A warm spray of blood escaped from the gaping wound, sending blood all over the young Kaguya's face and chest. The assassin gurgled and sputtered as her body fell back, the last of her red liquid draining onto the dirt. Within moments, a last breath escaped her lips. Signaling her death. Kusono took his free hand and wiped the blood from his face, only serving to smear it onto his white skin.

Kusono walked back over to his group. The other assassin was over Wolf's shoulder, and looked to be in immense pain. Well, Kusono had a kill under his belt. "The assassin was taken care of, Sensie. There seemed to be only two but we should keep our guard up just in case." Kusono said draping his cloak over himself and taking his place behind the elder.

Chakra:105/150:

His Pupil had done well, he had killed the woman very well and had showed no sense of mercy or hesitation, He smiled wide and clapped his hands a few time as his pupil told him what he had done, Good, your first kill as a ninja, and that of a chuunin ninja, good job, now come here and i wil give you your second lesson...how to gain some information from an enemy, all ninja need to know torture and interrogation, watch closely...now first thing first is to Initiate contact He took the girl of of his shoulder and stood her up and placed her back against a tree, her eyes showed hate, but Wolfgan wasnt fazed, Hey there, i am Wolfgang, this is Kusono, now are you going to talk he then took the gag from her mouth, the moment he did she spit blood into his face, he turned calmy to his pupil and said, Now Kusono when someone doesnt listen to reason or being nice, i usually resort to a more tense sort of method, watch how she will change her approach he then turned to the girl and changed his face, his face was now tense and hard, his eyes stared into hers, he then pulled a senbon out of his holder on his leg and slowly put it into the shoulder of the girls, right in the joint, he heard her gasp at start, but then she screamed as he shoved the needle all the way threw and pinned her to the wall, he then did the same with the other shoulder as well hearing the screams of the girl echo, he then said in a jovial tone, So who sent you, i would love to know, she almost spoke, but she caught herself and then spit more blood and spit into his face, he wiped his off and then turned to the genin named Kusono, and told him in a happy tone, Now for someone this stubborn, you can use many types of techniques, i am going to use what is called Flaying, that is when you remove the skin of the target to get them to talk, crude, but effective, hope your gut is strong, i expect you to watch and learn for when you are of higher rank He then begun...

He took the shirt off of the girl, not really caring for her decientcy, since he wasnt attracted to either males nor females, the girls face reddened at it but he went of anyway, he grabbed his Kunai and started the torture, he moved the knife from her collar bone and all the way down her front right down to her hip area, he then moved the knife across her belly and then up back to the collar bone and back to meet the orignal cut, all of these cuts would cut down to the muscle but not into it, just the skin, He then stuck the knife into the wall and asked the girl once more, Tell me who you are and who you work for and where he is, otherwise this is coming off The girl must not have understood him, he looked away and said, Youn arent getting anything from me you FUCKER it was then that he stuck his fingers into the top of the cut on her collar bone and yanked downwards taking all of the skin of her front off in a sicking RIIIPP!!! then came the girls blood chilling scream, it was loud as anything he had heard, the muscle of her chest was now exposed and was bleeding badly, she started to yell then and he could tell that he won, he then looked her in the eyes and grabbed her by the throat, Now! information Unless you want to part with more skin and then die, i have all day She then started to tear up and sob in pain while saying, OK...ok i willl tell you...first i am Sakura, i work for the Quad ninjas, i dont know where they are stationed, i was never told me and her were just payed to kill the old man....please dont do that again...please...thats all i know

Wolfgang could tell she was telling the truth, it was then he nodded to the girl and then to Kusono, and as he looked as Kusono he reached up and snapped the girls neck and killed her, she didnt even notice, that is her prize for telling them what she knew, he then turned and walked off, the elder following, he turned to Kuso and asked, Now what did we learn from her? he wanted to see what Kusono gained from the talk, his pupil would soon learn his ways...

2500/2500
500/2500

Kusono brought the black fur hood of his cloak up to cover his blood stained face. Even though the battle was over her would keep a close grip on his bone dagger. A ninja never knows when a new threat would arrive."Good, your first kill as a ninja, and that of a chuunin ninja, good job, now come here and i wil give you your second lesson...how to gain some information from an enemy, all ninja need to know torture and interrogation, watch closely...now first thing first is to Initiate contact".His sensei said as he approached him and their new prisoner. Kusono thanked him and observed quietly, still trying to wipe some of the gore from his face. Some slipped into his mouth, producing a metallic taste always associated with blood. Kusono spat the small amount on the ground as he observed his sensei at work.

Wolf took the girl from his shoulder and propped her up on a nearby tree, while the elder and Kusono huddled around. "Hey there, i am Wolfgang, this is Kusono, now are you going to talk." Wolf said while taking the gag from her mouth. He was met with only a spit of blood to his face, which he calmly wiped off. He had to admit, Wolf had patience. Kusono would have beat on her for a bit for that little stunt. "Now Kusono when someone doesnt listen to reason or being nice, i usually resort to a more tense sort of method, watch how she will change her approach." Wolf began as he took senbon from his holster and began pressing them through her shoulder joints, pinning her to the tree. With each entry she would let out a ragged scream, which died down when Wolf ceased pushing the senbon in. The girl was only let a brief break when Wolf grabbed another senbon, and the process started over again. She was a noisy little bitch.Wolf questioned her but it was no dice, he was met with more spit to his face, quite disrespectful.

"Now for someone this stubborn, you can use many types of techniques, i am going to use what is called Flaying, that is when you remove the skin of the target to get them to talk, crude, but effective, hope your gut is strong, i expect you to watch and learn for when you are of higher rank ." Kusono knew what flaying was, he knew it as a form of torture for criminals in the past. It was a practice no longer used by any village to his knowledge. Kusono nodded and observed intently. Wolf removed the girls shirt and exposed her breasts. Though she was an enemy ninja, she looked better than most of the kunoichi in the mist village. Wolf took a kunai from his pouch and cut a square around her torso. Collarbone to collarbone, then down to the stomach, then back up to the original cut. Wolf again ask for the information her required. Again, the ninja was not one to give up the information. At least she put up some kind of fight. "You arent getting anything from me you FUCKER!" The kunoichi finally blurted. She should have just given them the information. It was then that Wolf ripped all of the skin from the collarbones down to her stomach off. It came off with a sickening squick. Simultaniously, the ninja gave a scream louder than any of her previous ones. This make Kusono grimaced, not because of her now exposed muscles, but because of the sheer volume of it. He hated loud noises.

"OK...ok i willl tell you...first i am Sakura, i work for the Quad ninjas, i dont know where they are stationed, i was never told me and her were just payed to kill the old man....please dont do that again...please...thats all i know." She chocked out between tears and sobs. She was pathetic. A real ninja would never let themselves be captured like this, let alone reveal valuable information. She was weak, something Kusono would never be. Wolf accepted the information as truth and used his immense strength to end the girls life by snapping her neck."Now what did we learn from her?"

"I learned that this might not be the first time you've done this," Kusono gave a chuckle. "We also know that a group by the name of the Quad ninjas hired that pathetic excuse for an assassin duo. So we should be wary of another attempt on the elder's life."

WC:2500/2500
743/2500

His apprective had made a little quip about this nsnot being the first time he had done this, and told him what he had learned, he was smart this one and he had not looked away form the process, he really did have promise, For the first time in a long while he let out a long deep rumble of a laugh, No it isnt, but is it smart to make fun at your sensei, respect your elders and all that shit Ahaha, but...yes that is everything pretty much, though it isnt that those two were pathetic, she told me what she knew yes, broke the code of a ninja yes, but what would you do? if you entire front had been removed, your bones may be regenerative but you skin isnt, never frown upon someone until you understand what they are going threw, though i hope you never need to go threw that He walked on with the old man, hoping the genin would understand, the ninja they just fought could go toe to toe with many Chuunin from their village, he then looked in front of him and saw a bridge that lead to a pier, that was their boat to the other land, he stretched out his back and kept on, his cloak flapping in the slight breeze...

His sensei let out a long hardy laugh at his earlier joke. At least his sensei had a sense of humor. Kusono would sooner take his life then be mentored by a nonsense strict ass hat of a ninja. Kusono himself always enjoyed speaking out of turn. Both in and out of respective company.

Once, during a dinner between Kusono's branch family and the main family of the kaguya, Kusono was always the one to say exactly what he meant. One of the lower assistant advisers was well known at one of the villages many pleasure houses. Though Kusono knows some that frequent those places, it was not something any distinguished family wanted brought up. So when the advisor make an off handed remark to Kusono during a conversation between the adviser and his father. Asking if his father's 'less than level headed son' had finally 'started acting like a true Kaguya clansman', it got Kusono's blood to boil. Instead of lash out like he normally did, he instead asked in an exaggeratedly loud voice how he enjoyed his 'disease ridden whores that you(he) seem so fond of.' This make everyone in the room turn to the now red-faced adviser and earned Kusono a death stare from his father. With a smirk, Kusono proceeded to be escorted out of the diner party. It was well worth it to see that worm of a man squirm.

The current clan head was barely a Kaguya. He was only elected because of the absence of a clan head because of a previous death match for the title left the clan headless because of a draw. He had turned the clan from fearsome warriors to nose in the air bureaucrats. Hell, even the head advisers where elected instead of the clan head's most trusted battle brothers. The old ways of the clan needed new life breathed into them, which was why Kusono practiced the ways of the ninja constantly. He volunteered for missions, trained, and took joy in battle. His ancestors would have been proud.

Kusono snapped out of his daze as his sensei spoke. "No it isnt, but is it smart to make fun at your sensei, respect your elders and all that shit Ahaha, but...yes that is everything pretty much, though it isnt that those two were pathetic, she told me what she knew yes, broke the code of a ninja yes, but what would you do? if you entire front had been removed, your bones may be regenerative but you skin isnt, never frown upon someone until you understand what they are going threw, though i hope you never need to go through that"

Kusono rolled his eyes. "I would never have been taken alive. I would have fought to the end instead of be captured. At least i would have died with a little back bone instead of groveling like this one did." Kusono said pointing to the body of the tortured assassin. Kusono then followed the elder and his sensei to the awaiting bridge and boat.

I would never have been taken alive. I would have fought to the end instead of be captured. At least i would have died with a little back bone instead of groveling like this one did." Was the words that his pupil said to him, this kid still had the arrogance of youth, and the arrogance of a genin, that was quite unfortunate, since he would have to teach him that he cannot be that way, that kind of behacvior would someday get him killed, the moment they got on the boat he turned and grabbed the genin by the neck and put him up against the wall, he took off his glasses and looked deep in his eyes, saying in a calm teacher like tone, No one knows what they will do, since pain is an odd thing, those ninja back there were skillful, we were just better, the kind of arrogance will get you murdered or killed, avoid it, the way of the ninja is hard and not meant for all, it may start off with just saying things like that, but it will eventually bring you start not caring about others, Empathy may not be the way of the ninja, but being without turns you into a machine, like i was, do you know of my past Kuso? someday ill tell you He then put his apprentice down and turned and looked around the boat, just to make sure there wasnt going to be any other problems, nothing seemed out of the ordinary so he walked on and sat down on a bench with the old man to his left and a pregnant lady to his right, he motioned Kuso to move to the other side of the old man.

As the boat took off the shore he heard a slight thud above him, which was where the deck was and the captain and his crew would be stationed, though no one else seemed to hear it, he wondered if Kuso heard it, as a ninja he had the will to check it out, he looked over to the genin and said, Hey, i got to go talk to the captain, Mizukage gave me some papers to give him He was lying threw his teeth, but he didnt want to set anyone off in any way, so as he stood up and walked up to the captains stairway he kept alert, nothing on his way seemed out of place, so he continued on, once he got to the stairs he noticed the steps were wet, though only slightly he wondered why, no one that is supposed to be on the deck would have left the boat, and it wasnt raining, it was barely damp outside, it gave him a Bad feeling, but he had to keep on, he knew that avoiding an issue wasnt forthcoming of him as a Special Jounin.

On the top of the stairs there was only death...the crew were dead, pinned to walls with kunai and littered with stab wounds that covered their body, he started to run toward the captains room, where the wheel and map were also found, as he entered he saw the captain with a kunai lodged in his gut, he was keeled over on the floor, at first glance he thought that he was dead, but as he walked in the man started to speak, Kill them...Get those fucking bastards, they are uneeded scum, ninja are needed though...men...normal people will stand no chance, look at mty crew for...for..fuck sakes, they are the ones wearing the Black clothes, they are wearing the same things, they look...look...all the same....4....there are.. then he coughed and fell over, his eyes closed, Miho knew that he was now dead, but he had learned enough, the men were the quad ninjas, but then suddenly he relized, Kuso was down in the people area with them and the old man, he had to get there before he was killed or injured...Miho had to hurry or something bad might happen...
(You can start the fight, ill show up next post, i have a cool plan to use)

Kusono had said what he had to say to his sensei. He was not weak and would never be weak, he would always come out on top. The way of a Kaguya was a hunger for power, for supremacy. Kusono had killed the enemy ninja because she was weaker than him. The other ninja had leaked the info they needed because she too was to weak to either kill them both or to avoid getting captured. So, he walked to the boat with his sensei in silence.

Stepping on the ship Kusono was grabbed by Wolf, his superior strength was nothing to the small framed genin. All he could do was lessen the choke Wolf had on his throat. The imposing Anbu agent looked directly in his eyes. "No one knows what they will do, since pain is an odd thing, those ninja back there were skillful, we were just better.That kind of arrogance will get you murdered or killed, avoid it, the way of the ninja is hard and not meant for all, it may start off with just saying things like that, but it will eventually bring you to start not caring about others. Empathy may not be the way of the ninja, but being without turns you into a machine, like i was, do you know of my past Kuso? someday ill tell you." With that, the Anbu released his grasp and took a seat by the elder.

Kusono was bitter about being scolded like some child. He was more then that, and he would show them, he would show everyone his strength. Bitterly he took the other seat aside the Elder. And within minutes, the boat was off.

A few minutes of the seas rhythmic to and fro motion and Wolf stood up and said he had documents to give to the Mizukage. That led him to be the only protector for the Elder, which didn't worry Kusono. The Elder only sat there, stale faced and staring at the hull of the boat. Kusono periodically looked over the boats occupants. There weren't many, the pregnant lady seemed to be the only one besides the three of them and the crew that was somewhere among the boat. Kusono could hear a muffled voice upstairs, very soft. Maybe it was Wolf talking to one of the crew. Shortly after there where the thud of heavy boots behind him where the entrance to the boat was. Four cloaked figures caked in blood appeared before the genin and the Elder. As soon as Kusono spotted them he threw off his cloak and hakama and activated his dance of the hydrangea, sprouting foot long bones all over the surface of his body. He took the bone dagger he had been saving from out of its concealed location and shifted it to his right hand before putting the elder behind him and out of harms way.

In response the four barraged him with senbon that easily bounced off him with no penetration through his multiple layer of bones. One of the figures ran at him holding out a Katar. Kusono shot two finger bullets out of his left hand and struck him in the center of the chest, hearing a crack from the armour underneath his robes. The blow slower his run but he kept coming. The elder retreated to the edge of the wall behind Kusono. The Kaguya swiped at the assailant horozontally with his blade, hopping to catch his face or neck. The enemy ducked under the swipe and delivered a bunch to Kusono's abdomen, impaling his arm on the spikes. Kusono delivered a kick to his side which sent the assailant flying to the left of him, blood from the wound on his hand shining on the protruding bones on Kusono's side. The rest of the four came at him all at once, he braced himself, a Kaguya never goes down without a fight.

743+510+656=1909/2500

Miho did not have time to run back to Kusono, it would be too late to save either of them, he then had an idea, he looked down and braced his legs, jumping 3 feet into the air and coming back down with a double footed stomp, sending a crack into the wood, it was the second jump that did it, on his way down he put everything he had into the stomp, shattering the floor and flying downwards into the peoples quarters, where the foe were fighting Kusono, there was four of them, but one seemed to injured to be of much more use, but they had the advantage against Kusono and the elder, there were 4 of them and Kusono was only a genin, he had to Do something, and quick.

He rushed the assailants the moment he landed, coming up behind them with blinding speed, sticking both of his arms out he clotheslined the two closest men, sending them flying into the far wall beside Kusono, he then turned his attention to the other uninjured one, the other two would take a second or two to get out of the wall that Miho had lodged them into, though his fight with the second would be slightly harder , since he had just turned around to combat him in the stead of Kusono, in his hand was a tanto, it was 12 inches long and had a black steel blade, a real piece of work, though Miho wasnt a real taijutsu specialist he chose not to use his weapons for this fight and to stick to his bare hands.

He rushed the man at the same time that the man rushed him, the man sent forth attack after attack, slicing at his face and chest with the dark blade of his, but Miho just dodged the onslaught, leaning left an right, ducking the attacks as they flew by an inch from his body, though in return he delivered punch after punch to the ninjas rib cage, pounding him like a steak, slowly and slowy damaging more ribs, eventually cracking every rib in his body, blood showed at his lips, by the time the other two ninja even got out of the wall the man was done, Miho grabbed him by the head and smashed him against the ground, breaking his neck and smashing the ground with the pure force of the blow, leaving him a broken corpse as he yelled to Kusono,Get one more of them, i got the one on the left and the injured one, dont fail me now! As he finished the command he bolted towards the injured man, just as one of the two men got of the wall and chased him, the other was for Kusono...

Kusono braced for the impact of the four ninja, he was ready to die. To take all of his wounds in the front, none in the back, to ensure he did not die a coward. The Kaguya way was the way of the warrior, the way of persistence, and Kusono wouldn't have it any other way. His father had always told him storys of the Kaguya clan, how his warmongering ancestors tried and failed to topple Kirigakure.He always preached about their persistence and warrior spirit, but warned against foolhardiness. It looks like Kusono would be following in the steps of his ancestors. It was bittersweet. he strived to be like his ancestors, powerful and strong-willed, it was a shame he would die that way. But, such was life, all he could do was take as many of the son of a bitches with him as he could.

The elder still behind him, Kusono readied his dagger to take a stab to the first assailants head, hoping to land a killing blow then move on to another until he was dealt a killing blow himself. Just then, he heard a creaking sound. The ceiling above them collapsed, revealing his sensei, Wolf. His sensei clotheslines two of the assailants, sending them into a wall behind him. The wood splintered, lodging the two ninja into the wall. The ninja where highly dazed, Wolf's immense strength had almost knocked the assassins unconscious. There was another assailant, who confronted Wolf with a flurry of Tanto strikes. Wolf effortlessly dodged them, his giant form moving fasted then even Kuson's smaller frame could achieve. With each successful dodge, Wolf delivered a blow to the assassins body. Each blow rocked him, making the follow up strike much less accurate. Every other blow produced a slight cracking sound. Wolf's blows where so savage that they bypassed his armour and broke the ribs it was meant to protect. Kusono had wholeheartedly underestimated his sensei's strength. When the man could no longer keep up his assault, Wolf took the initiative and seized the man by the neck, smashing him into the floor and breaking his neck.

Kusono was only snapped out of his trance like state when Wolf's booming voice told him to take on one of the stuck shinobi. Looking behind him, he saw the shinobi trying to to get out of the wall. They broke the splintered wood that kept them trapped. Though their possible concussions made their movements sluggish and disorganized. Kusono bypassed the Elder behind him and ran at one of the assassins. His weapon was no where to be found, lost in the fray of battle. His opponent's left half was still stuck in the wall. His right arm was hammering away at the wood trying to free himself. Kusono ran up to him and delivered a front kick to his exposed face. His nose made a crunching sound as he was thown deeper into the wall. Kusono sought to force his bone dagger into the mans throat, where his armour couldn't protect him. But the man brought his armoured hand up to his offending arm, blocking his daggers advance. His arm guard protected him from Kusono body spikes, but he couldn't stave off Kusono for long. The young Kaguya hammered his free hand into the mans neck. The one foot spikes of his arm sliced into his neck, sending a spray off blood onto Kusono and a scream accompanying it. The mans strength faultered as his life energy seeped onto the floor. Letting Kusono jab his dagger into the mans throat, sending a smaller spray of crimson onto the walls and floor.

Wolfgang saw his apprentice attack, he attacked the man savegaly, though a genin, this kusono was an incredibly skilled ninja, he had been shown to not flinch from blood and the spectacle that he was watching in his perifrel, He saw his own apprentice run forth, with his bone armor and his bone weapon, he saw him skillfully dodge and block a attack from the dazed ninja, then he saw him stick his arm spikes into his throat and spill his lifes blood everywhere, and suddenly he was in his own fight...

The ninja he was running at had not yet fully gotten out of the wall, his left arm and leg were just outside of the wall as Wolfgang got to him, First he swang his fist forward and clocked the man in the shoulder, bruising it deeply, and sending the man further into the wall, Wolfgang spun himself around and jumped into the air, sending his huge boot of a foot into the same part of the shoulder as before, this time feeling the joint pop out and dislocate, hearing the scream of the an as he plummeted directly though the wall of the ship and into the water outside, though both of his shoudlers were dislocated so swimming wasnt possible, so for a moment he just thrashed there, Wolfgang sent forth 5 senbon at his neck, killing him in a flow of blood from his neck, that was the problem with style of fighting, blunt damage didnt usually kill people outright like cutting things did...but it was effective

Wolfgang turned to the elder and nodded to him, he nodded his flinty eyes back and smirked, the old bastard was okay, and so was his apprentice, he turned to him and asked, You Okay? You get any wounds? His voice was calm but not really caring, he just didnt need a kid injured trying to keep up with him, at least that was what he thought....

The mans dying breaths came as gagging and gurgling as his punctured vein leaked blood and his throat leaked air. His gags descended into a whisper, and then to a final silent breath that left the man's mouth. His body fell limp. Kusono left his blade and spikes into his opponent a bit longer, making sure the shinobi would not spring to life and attack him as soon as his guard was down. But a sudden attack never came, the man was just dead weight, limp in Kusono's grasp. Finally, the Kaguya snapped back into his senses. His Sensei spoke to him after just finishing off the last assailent. "I'm fine, though the same can't be said for this guy." Kusono replied, taking first his arm spikes out of the mans neck with a sick sucking sound;then his bone dagger. The bones on his body slowly receded back into him, his weapon collapsed into dust as he canceled the techniques that kept them solid. They where not far off from their drop off point, and it looked like the boat was cleared of any assailants.

His Apprentice was fine, which was good, and so was the elder, the rest of their journey went without a hitch, they made it to the destination and dropped the elder off, whom nodded to them and smiled, shaking the hands of both of them and complimenting the both of them on their prowess, Kusono most of all, going on about him being amazing for his rank, after that he left to go do his job, mission went off without much problems, no deaths and he even learned about his apprentice along the way...
