1 A new era, a new Snake to slither [Nukenin thread/plot/NK] Thu May 11, 2017 8:47 pm
Orochi Risu
S-rank
It had been more than a year now, she had been hunting them, exterminating them. yet in the process, with every life she took, she lost something of what she once was and added something new to herself. More and more she lost those last remaining shreds of her innocence and in its place she added brutality, cruelty and lust. The young girl once known as Orochi risu, the shining star of the Ouroboros clan had turned into a vicious snake, ready to devour everything in her path, guided by but a singular goal: the destruction of every single remnant of her turbulent past.
She had left the village in silence, only once in a while sending a report to the ANBU headquarters to keep them informed, but by now, they had probably forgotten, save for maybe a few, that one of their own had gone on a mission that could've just as well cost her her life. However, while she had not lost her life, she HAD lost something.
One after another, she found the hidden bases of the Black ANBU scattered across the country of Fire and one after another, she killed the soldiers still loyal to her uncle without mercy, without remorse and without reprieve. Like a Boa Constrictor, she had been squeezing the old Black ANBU network, making sure that all of those who were part of it would know that they had only a singular choice: to die at her hand or to take the coward's way out.
There were a few things she did not destroy though, for despite how much she hated him, despite her rage and anger, she could not deny the fact that some of Enaka's projects had a certain merrit nor could she deny that his ways of gathering intel and storing it were second to none. So at every hideout, she made sure to gather all she could, all her had collected through the years was getting into her possession.
The time had come, time to return to Konoha and end her search, to add the last piece of information to her collection and take what she truly deserved: her freedom.
Present day, Konoha south gates
The moon was full, it's pale light shining upon the guardstation of the south gate, where two chuunin were doign their duty to guard the precious entrance to the village hidden in the leaf. They seemed content with their job, using it as an excuse to slack off, which meant they saw nothing coming in or out if the "thing" in question was capable of hiding its presence with ease.
Lamya was this thing, a trained ANBU, a by now former captain even and when it came to killing, she wasn't someone who refused to do it by herself, not after all she had done in the past years away from the village or even from what had happened before.
The air in the village was familiar, the wind caressing her skin, blowing through her hair made her feel slightly nostalgic, yet despite all of that, she only smiled once: a faint smile hidden behind an unusual ANBU mask. Same went for her armor, which was unusual both in its color and the fact that it had silver chains hanging from her collar to her left shoulderpad.
Silently, Lamya skipped towards the edge of the guardhouse's roof, using her lower legs as leverage, she hung down and pulled out two scalpels, which she used expertly to slice open the throats of both young men, cutting both their windpipes and vocal chords. When that was done, she let go of the roof, landing square on her feet and walked into the guard house to put the bodies of her two unfortunate victims away.
With that done, she only had two places to visit before doing what she came for in the first place. her first stop was the small apartment she had in town, the place where she had lived the entire time, even after she had become the so-called head of her clan, she still treasured that place and now she had to get something she treasured from that place, something that despite her unusual transformation still gave her that long lost sliver of humanity she had left a moment of peace and tranquility.
It was an easy run over the rooftops, silently jumping from roof to roof, avoiding the moonlight as much as possible, until she reached the apartment. using her key, she managed to enter it fairly easy, realizing that it had gotten a stale smell and had gathered lots of dust over time, yet finding what she came for wasn't hard, as she remembered it well, where she had put her magatama earrings and a single necklace given to her in a time when things were still easy and when she herself was still so unbelievably naïve.
After that, she went towards another place: the gravestone for the unnamed heroes, for those who had died in the line of duty and who's names were hidden. It was a place where she had been many times, the place where she honored her parents, but also those she didn't dare to face or simply couldn't bare to face in troubled times.
She placed the necklace near the monument with her magatama earrings and started to jump over the rooftops again towards the north gate, which lead to the place she needed to go: Konoha's prison.
