After walking a incredible amount just to get to the sand dunes, Austin decided it would be the perfect day for him to get some praise in so he can honor his almighty god jashin. He would make a small ritual circle of the jashin symbol in the sand pull out a shuriken and cut his finger open with it dripping small drops of blood onto the circle. Austin would bow his head put his hands together and pray to the god. "Almighty Jashin...I thank you for what you have done, Giving me this power of immortality so that I can prove myself to you even more. I promise to make more money but the bounty's now a days are terrible. Forgive me my great lord Jashin!! He would say putting his head between his knees.

Austin would then stand up picking up his shuriken with blood on it and licking the blood clean off, He would then swallow the blood to put it back into his system. He sat on the ground looking at the sky.."Its pathetic...Everyone grows old and dies at some point in their life when I can live immortal and never grow any older.." He then got back up and continued on his way looking over the giant field of sand dunes thinking if he should jump into one....To see what would actually happen if he did. The day was hot...It was incredibly sunny...It would be a perfect beach day if only the dunes had water.. Austin took out a bottle of water and drank it till it was half empty....Or Half Full for the freaks that are always positive. He sighed and kipped himself back up as if he was in a ninja movie...Sadly this did not go well for how huge Austin was and he fell right back down to the floor. He stood up normally this time and walked to one of the closest dunes to him.

After walking to it the dune was huge. Austin stood still and was a few meters away from it so he could see exactly what was happening..The perfect murder spot."Hehehe the perfect place to hide my torture victims....Getting sucked into this bad boy is a instant death...Hehehehe..Perfect.." Austins lips grew wide as an evil smirk appeared on his face, He took his bottle of water and drank the rest of it. Austin then thought if he should throw the bottle into the dune..This was an obvious yes. Austin stood the bottle up on top of the dune stood back 5 meters and threw a shuriken at the bottle hitting it and making the bottle fall to the other side. Austin sat on top of the dune taking out a packed rice ball and ate the entire thing in one bite.

He stood there....staying still....Completely still...Nothing was happening...Nothing was moving....He stayed still until the perfect moment. He laid on his back now...Sliding down the dune like you would a sled on a snowy mountain...His clothes were sandy..Really sandy..So sandy Sandy from the hit show spongebob would be jealous...He stayed at the bottom of this dune..Always watching.

Ryu had left the slums part house early morning with out having gotten drunk once again. It appeared his bloodline was kicking in full tilt now with his heritage keeping them from getting drunk from outside sources. Didn't matter how much of which alcohol he drank. Still he had come to the party because some traveling school kids from up north had arrived and wanted to party with the real party people in town. He had gotten in a drinking contest with three of them at once and for him it may as well have been foul tasting small glasses of water. So he had swindled them out of some cash with his ability before they all passed out drunk and well...he relieved them of what was left in their wallets anyway. Suna would see to their travel home of course but they would be far too broke to actually continue their travels. With how much they had drank they likely wouldn't remember his face and the people at the party that did know what he was doing knew better than to cross him anyway. Typically he just sold booze or bet on cage fights but with the load he had made from the school kids he was set for rent and some good eating.

Still his boots plodded along through the sand as he walked away from the slums. They would want to go looking for their money first thing upon waking and he didn't need to be found. His Dark jeans were tucked over his boots to keep the sand blowing around from getting into his socks. Still he let his head fall back as his blonde hair swayed in a pony tail behind him and he retired it out of his face with a black sash. His fingerless leather gloves and rags tightened around his wrist rubbing against the fabric. He was careful to keep the eye patch over his right eye too. A man with a blue and a purple eye was far easier to recognize for authorities than someone with an eye patch. Lots of those in the desert. She was after all a harsh and unforgiving mistress. Still he lowered his right hand between the white cloth of his undershirt that showed most of his tanned and tattooed chest and the black jean coat with rolled up sleeves before pulling out a smoke and a lighter. He quietly lit the cigarette and slipped the lighter back into his pocket before making his way into the dunes just outside the slums.

Still he moved into the hot dunes as he puffed on his sweet tasting cancer stick and letting the smoke out the corner of his mouth. He had considered jacking the kids smartphone for something to do but based on past experience he knew those could be tracked. Either way he was going to head across the dunes to do some shopping in the higher end part of town. Maybe eat a steak for the first time that year. Mmm that sounded good. Still a couple dunes down he stopped at the top of one to take a piss. Wizzing down the dune as he let it go like free falling golden rain. His free hand taking the cigarette out of his mouth as he looked around and ashed it. Spotting someone below a Dune a ways to his right he raised an eyebrow and waited to see if the individual would move or if they were dead. Another corpse to pick clean maybe? If so he might get a good tasting drink with his steak and reverse engineer it for his own beer design.

Austin would open his eyes seeing a person on the top of the dune. His eyes would open and he licked his lips it seems the person had on boots, With dark jeans that were tucked over them. The person had on blonde hair and it was in a pony tail. Austin thinking it was a girl because of the pony tail. Austin would stand up and walk closer to this...person to see if he or even she was up to anything. Austins hand was making sure his red kunai holster was still on his right leg, He had on a jashinist clothing, Which was no shirt with bandages around his stomach area and black pants with shoes. His brown hair was spiked to a perfect point. After cracking his knuckles and getting closer to this person, Austin seen that he had finger less gloves...and was smoking a cigarette...This pissed him off."So you think your cool....I dont like that...Not one fucking bit." Austin would say getting even closer to the person..Not even noticing the eye patch on their head.

As he got closer sand got onto Austins right arm right on his scar..It stung but Austin wiped it off showing off the scar and the scratch on his cheek. He would then glare at this person trying to find out what they were going to do. If they were to do anything of course..Austin then looked at the village of suna...The heat waves around its walls were making it look....weird...As if a murder sequence was about to take place. He did not know much about this person and who knows who he or she could be or even do in that matter....They could possibly be the perfect sacrifice for the Lord Jashin. And that's exactly what he needed...More blood..and Different torture techniques..Ah yes maybe cutting off his limbs and leaving him on the floor to bleed to death....Or a kunai through the heart should suffice...No matter what if this person did want a fight it would be fun...But those gloves...Those finger less gloves thinking that they looked cool...And they were cool...Austin wanted those gloves...He needed those gloves...But he really didn't. Austin kept walking until he got close to the person and stopped waiting to see what their next move would be.

This is when Austin noticed the person was actually a dude...Scratches everywhere...a lot of scars...Maybe Austin should give him one more. Ah yes one more right there on his neck when Austin cuts his head off.. But if this dude seemed cool he might let him live...Ah yes let him live become friends with the enemy...Is always a wise move and choice. Austin was smirking at this point thinking of all the things this dude could possible do. And maybe Austin could steal a few tricks...Or limbs in this case he needed someone to practice his medical jutsu on.

Ryu quietly turned his head as his hair swayed in the breeze out of his face. His one blue eye revealed now to the person approaching. He blinked and held his smoke up to his lips one more time before blowing smoke out the corner of his mouth in a nearly bored way. His expression showing nearly zero interest at the approaching situation. It wasn't like him to be thrilled a stranger was approaching him along the sand dunes this close to the bad part of town. Not that the good part of town really had much more promise for him. For normal people eventually good places suited them. A sense of comfort and belonging. However for an ex convict like himself that was in for a violent crime there was no official place for him. A lot of people in his position actually acted out just to go back to prison. A good bed and a meal everyday. Sure, the downside was fighting constantly to remain top dog in the prison but those with honor only came at you one at a time. Those without usually got beat at some point with no mercy right along with their posse by everyone. Jumping people in mass was frowned upon and in a prison where the way to become a top dog was by being one of the best fighters it was a bad idea to try and take over with sheer numbers over skill. The last time it happened the number one positioned person took down the whole gang with just his left hand.

However Ryu was no longer a contender on that floor of the prison. He was done with his sentence by some years and had moved on. He sold bootleg booze Maybe scammed the occasional person for a wee bit of profit. He wasn't much for fighting anymore and yet... here came this little shit up the dune talking trash to him already. What the hell was this kids problem? Who just approached someone in the dunes and started shit? Ryu could only let out a sigh as the kid cracked his knuckles and brushed off his arm. He sure was acting tough for some reason. Someone that Ryu had ripped off at some point? If so the kid didn't know what he was getting into. Especially not walking straight up to a taijutsu user. Still he had said something..what was it? Oh right...he didn't like how Ryu thought he was cool. Well that sounded like a personal problem. The one blue eye shifted downwards to take in the Kunai holster and rose an eyebrow. Did this kid feel this confident because he had a little knife? Ryu sighed before he begun patting himself down with his one free hand like he was looking for something before he pulled up the hand holding up the middle finger only and watching the boy in front of him

"Oh would you look at that. The frick I do not give. Try picking a fight in town kid. Someone there will be happy to kick your ass."

"Drip..Drop...Just One Drop....Drip Drop...Just One Drop." Austin would say as if it was a nursery rhyme..His eyes were bulging and pulsating as his blood lust was getting stronger. He was thirsty...Not thirsty for water though as one may think, He was thirsty for blood...He hungered for blood. But was it a good idea to attack this person? Austin didn't care he thirsted for blood and this guy looked like he could hold his on as he flipped Austin off. ""Blood...Blood...Must have BLOOD!" Austin would quickly remove his kunai to throw it at Ryu to see how good his reaction time was going to be, Austin would smirk and charge in with a melee kunai in his right hand to slice at Ryus torso, This was all apart of Austins big plan to see if this person really did know how to handle himself. Austin would smirk as he glared right into Ryus eyes the entire time...Hoping to strike fear...In his heart.

As Austin was attacking nothing but flashbacks would appear in his head...it was happening all over again...The pain...The suffering it was all coming back to him. The pulsating of his brain inside his skull...Austins muscles began to twitch so bad anyone can see them. It was as if he was transforming, But he wasn't Austin remembered the day of when his parents were killed. His father was a great shinobi and learned of all the torture methods with the Ingest Blood technique...Austin loved his father and his mother was such a beautiful woman. Austin had her hair color and his fathers brute strength, He was..Perfect however it had to be the flashback of the day his parents were killed. Austin was only 7 at the time and just started the academy when the fire nation attacked. Austin was in the closet and his closet had holes big enough to see out of. His father was on the ritual circle....It was show time. His father had taken out the family heirloom scythe. It was a replica of Hidans scythe...But how did his father know about him he had no idea..His father was running out of chakra and to finish the invasion...He shoved his sword into his heart killing himself...And a Anbu Captain..This pissed Austin off as he finally snapped back to reality realizing he was still on the attack. After trying to slice Ryus torso Austin would spring into the air to deliver a bone crunching punch.

He would smirk when finally getting to see what Ryu could do..He could tell the person was strong..Probably a lot stronger then he was but Austin did not care he was in the heat of the moment and still fighting hard and strong. He was not going to let his parents down..Not this time, This time he was going to prove how great of a Shinobi he was!

Ryu watched with a raised eye brow as he could see the kid visually freaking out in front of him. If anything Ryu seemed bored with the whole scenario and slightly irritated. Big dog in prison time all over again. Each time a newbie showed up it was time to pick a fight and occasionally it was with him. Prison was not the only place for that however. In fact outside of prison there were more people with something to prove. Being in the bad part of town it was usually a fight on a daily basis. That was what made this encounter particularly annoying. Here he was up before most everyone in town and heading out for the morning before someone could pick a fight and this little shit was turning red in front of him and starting shit because he didn't like him? The shit had he even done for this kid to target him? Wrong place wrong time he supposed. Still he knew that look. People that turned red and chanted nonsense did not care to listen to reason. This was about to escalate in a second and when it did he would probably have to hurt the kid to get a point across. The point being to be cautious whom you frick with. He just needed to be careful not to lose control again. Not to lose himself.

Still he was ready when he saw the kid slide his hand for the kunai pouch and was already moving backwards. The sand dune was awkward footing but that would be the case for both of them. Still the fact that this kid instantly resorted to blades against someone unarmed was not promising. Still the youth in front of him chucked a kunai with out really much accuracy to which Ryu rolled backwards in a lean. At the same moment as his backwards movement Austin was moving to slash at him. In one movement Ryu leaned back and his left hand came up to catch the Kunai flying over him and his right foot slammed up first to attempt to slam against the wrist with the Kunai in it of his attacker. His free hand planted on the sand to let him continue the movement into a flowing back flip. On his way out of it his free hand gripped a handful of sand. He landed on his feet as the kid had already followed through and launched into the air to try and punch him though the punch wasn't really directed accurately either. Ryu responded by chucking the hand full of sand at Austins face to try and blind him. As for his battle plan. He couldn't remain on the defensive. He didn't want this to escalate further but he knew a simple punch wasn't going to end this. The Kunai felt heavy in his hand but he could tell it was of average quality. Little more then a shiv and this close to town the kid could get help in time. So as the kid fell through the sand at him he would step to the side and regardless of if the kid was blind or not Ryu would use his raised free hand to try and slam up and grip the wrist of his opponent holding the Kunai while his own Kunai, gripped in his left hand rose to try and drive into the falling kids gut. It wouldn't be fatal if it worked but only a fool would continue with his weapon hand captured and a knife in his stomach. Than again only a fool attacked people randomly just outside the slums.

Austins eyes would widen as he seen this person dodge the way out of the kunai and even catch one, Soon right after the person threw sand at Austins face, Austin would lick his face and...Eat the sand off his face the second after it was on him. The person was fast though, Not even after this the person would grip Austins wrist and go to stab him in the cut with his own kunai. Luckily Austin was able to see and would quickly grab the persons arm that was grabbing his and try to flip him to let him go. As he was in the air would see the kunai come at his gut and with him not able to dodge it he would let it cut his gut as he fell to the ground. Austin would grab the pants of the person and try to pull them down in order to pants him. If Successful Austin would this as a distraction to jump back 10 meters and do a few hand signs while putting chakra into his feet. Austin would then stomp the ground to make spikes of no higher then 1 ft appear instantly out of the ground in the direction of this person for speeds of 20m/s. Austin would smirk as he would think in his head "Lets see how fast he really is."

Austin thought now would be the best and perfect time to finally introduce himself. "By the way..The name is Austin...Of The Jashin Clan... You should know who I am." He would say as his overconfidence was getting the better of him. Austin knew how to fight but he was not strong enough for his clan jutsu yet. Hopefully this fight would help him get stronger so he could perfect his Clans secret jutsu, Lets just hope no one knew about it but him. Austin would glare at the spikes that started to form, All he needed was one drop..One drop of blood and his blood lust would get the better of him, he had no idea how to control it yet so it would all go to hell if there was any blood involved in this fight. Lets just hope there would not be any. Austin would smile a dark terrible grin with his teeth showing as if he was turning into something else, Something not even human. Austin would just stand there with his foot stomped into the ground to see what this person was going to do...IF they were going to do anything at that. Austin had a million other things flowing through his head, As if telling him to stop going all out, He could die and more. The pressure was starting to get to him, his heart was racing and beating faster and faster but he was no coward he was no sissy! This was the time to prove that he will be a god..No....That he IS a god.

Ryu would watch the large kid descend towards him and see his Kunai pierce into the young mans gut. Blood flowing out onto his fingers as he recognized the wound and smell. Had he gone to far? It was frustrating being pushed into knife combat but he wasn't about to simply stand there and take it. He was not one for being attacked and letting it go. Still drawing blood onto his fingers brought a rush of memories. Losing his temper and going overboard on those genin. His time in prison and always being dragged into fights that ended in blood. He could not allow himself to lose himself in this fight. He didn't need to kill the kid but that gut wound would need to be looked at before sand got in it or he got an infection. Still the fact that he ate sand made Ryu make a face that clearly depicted disgust. Sand was in no way tasty. It was dry and grainy and until he drank something particles of it would sit in his mouth and would feel gritty for some time. Living in Suna people have had sand in their mouth at some point or another and no one ever liked it. This kid was just a special kind of nuts.

Still Ryu felt his hand that was gripping the kids wrist being gripped by his opponents other hand. He was beginning to understand this kid did not have a whole lot of combat experience. He was doing absolutely nothing about Ryu's knife hand. Still Ryu was caught a little off guard by the kids strength and was lifted off the ground. He felt himself losing his center body control and knew if he didn't act he was going to land in a precarious position. Still he spun the Kunai so it was gripped upside down and quickly used it as an anchor hook attempt into the kids shoulder as he went over it and used the sudden stopping power of that to flip his feet to land first. Still he saw the youngin go for his pants next and suddenly felt the oddity of this fight. He was going to try and pants him? He had a knife! Go for a leg wound instead if you can manage that. He sure was feeling lucky about his attackers lack of experience. Still he had to grip his belt to hold his pants up which let the kid get some distance from him as Ryu readjusted his waist line.

Ryu watched the kid retreat to ten meters away from him as he adjust himself and rose another eyebrow. Maybe the kid had thought better of a close quarters combat fight with a taijutsu specialist or even better, had decided the person he had picked a fight with was too dangerous. If he was going to run Ryu wasn't going to stop him. Instead he brushed off some sand from his shoulder with his free hand as the kids blood dripped from his kunai. He was definitely keeping the knife. Still the kid suddenly stamped his foot as if in frustration or so Ryu though before Spikes rushed at him at a crazy speed. He rose his arms defensively and prepped to take a hit when suddenly it faltered four meters away. The kid had launched a jutsu with a six meter range from ten meters away. Ryu just blinked and looked at him in confusion before rolling his eyes and shaking his head as the young one introduced himself. He called back across the distance to the kid.

"Yeah thats great kid. Now go get some medical attention before you bleed out yeah? I have stuff to do."

Austins mouth was grinning from ear to ear as he thought he would of had him where he wanted him. As Ryu was being lifted off the ground however Austin did forget about the knife hand and seen this person throw it in the sand to use it as a lever so he can land on his feet. This person indeed had some skill, and it seemed as if Taijutsu was their specialty..Interesting. Austin would then laugh as he tried to pants them but noticed they would hang on to their belt to avoid being pants. He would then jump back and do a jutsu that...Didn't even get close to the person. How could he of forgotten all jutsu have a range requirement! Austin was pissed off now as this would of probably been a different outcome if the jutsu had hit. Austins wound was bleeding and he loved the sight of his own blood, He would take his fingers to his cut to begin licking the blood off of the wound ingesting every single amount of it, God it tasted so good. Austin then noticed how he was in a area with nothing but sand that can go inside the wound and cause it to get infected. He would glare at his opponent and smirk. "Ill be going now, It was fun to fight you!" He would say before running back to the village to the hospital to get his wound checked out. Austin would smirk looking back once more at this person and thinking about how strong they were, He would have to learn to get over his blood lust other wise its going to get him killed. Austin would walk to the gates to the hospital to where he could not be seen.
