"You dare speak back!" An aggressive voice bellowed out as a fat man on a horse lifted his whip high into the air before striking down on his target. The target was a small brown haired child that was no older than ten. The child had spoken against the masters for their excessive attacks on one of the other saves for their lack of endurance and for it, the child must be made an example of. When the master noticed that the child did not flinch nor scream after the strike in the child, a sinisterly perverted smile formed as he climbed down from his high horse. With a slow stride, he struck the child again much harder than the last time. Once again, the child made not a single noise as the blood flowed out from the new wounds. Every other master and slave from young to old turned to see this event that caused a master to yell. Over and over, the man struck his blood soaked whip into the kid until the point he was exhausted from it. It was not that the attacks did not hurt, instead, it was a boy who had lost everything because of these people and it was his pride that forced him not to make a noise until now. With a weak and raspy voice, the child sneered as he spoke to the man, "What's wrong? Getting tired hitting a kid far man?" A small chuckle came from the kid and nothing more. The man took an unexpected turn of moods with a laugh. His laugh however, was a sarcastic one as he grabbed the kid by the hair and spoke in a low tone so only the kid could hear his next words. "You think you're special because you're a kid do ya now? If you think that will get you any pity here, I don't think you've been attention to exactly what the situation is. These people do not care about you so why even speak out. Watch how little they care."
He let go of the child's hair before speaking again in a loud voice so all around could hear him, "First to make him squeal gets a days off work!!" The slaves all gathered around to take their turns beating the child in hopes of getting a reward. Many were long ridden slaves that begged for a days off more than anything. Some of them, do not care if they have to beat a child to obtain such a thing. The child never made a noise as his bones were breaking and hair was pulled out by large patches just to spite them all. This was a lesson to the kid that age meant nothing when you are a slave. Though in this instance it would appear that the other slaves were taught more about obedience than the child. For this was the starting point by which the child Zu, would begin his rebelling against his captors. Though before the child knew it, he had passed out from the loss of blood and over whelming pain.
Zu awoke from a rush of fear as his nightmares of his past became more frequent. Those memories seemed to only show up when Zu was asleep, because now awoken, he can not remember what his dream was about. Perhaps, it was best not to remember. That Zu, the slave, died many years ago. Now in his early twenties, Zu was free of the torment and pain. Such a freedom he grasped himself. Not all of the memories from that time are lost to him, just the ones that were the worst. The ones that were best left out of the conscious minds reach. It was much later than usual when Zu awoke. It was not like him to get more than a couple of hours rest, yet now he woke up during mid day. Grasping the wall behind him, he stood up from his resting spot on the side of a ramen shop in the slums. Since coming to Sunagakure, Zu has had trouble making enough money for lodging and proper meals. Instead there is an agreement between him and the owner to let him stay there and basically be a guard. In return, Zu for leftovers which were always in plenty. He did not particularly like staying in the village for long periods of time. Zu never knew when he could lose control and harm people again, so he tried to distance himself as best as he could from others. It was just convenient to come here for rest and eating. Out there in the sands, anything could happen to someone. Zu was a victim once of the unforgiving sands. Luckily for him, others came to his aid. He would be sure to not make the same mistake twice as he filled his canteens with water from a nearby fountain before heading off. He needed to strengthen his power even further and he could not risk doing any extensive training in the village. With his canteens filled, Zu set out for the great sands of Sunagakure.
Zu made haste as he trudged through the sands. His feet would sink an inch or two with each step. That plus the unforgiving heat made this place pretty much unbearable . Zu had to train out here though if he wanted to push the limits of his abilities. How far though should one travel? Zu decided it was best to walk as far away as possible. On his travels, Zu found animal prints that he assumed were from some canine creature. The prints were in a large enough volume that Zu assumed it to be no more than three. Tracks were fresh, and Zu's curiosity got the best of him as he followed the tracks towards what made them. He followed the prints for a while before coming to a rather large sand hill as he climbed it and looked down. At the bottom, dead carcasses of the animals. Sliding down the hill, Zu walked towards the bodies and the blood red sands. The blood had not coagulated enough for the animals to have been dead for too long. Zu was worried if someone had gotten hurt fending themselves off and were in need. Standing up at his impressive height, he looked around in hopes to spot the person. From a distance he could see a small figure walking in the distance. Cupping his large hands, Zu shouted out to the figure. "Hey!! Are you alright!" After his shout, Zu began his walk towards this person in hopes that they were indeed alright.

Izanagi
D-rank
21flickering rays gleamed in his eyes as the sun sunk into the horizon slowly but steadily. The glaring eyes of the young man turned to the sound piercing the silence of the desert. He looked behind him only to see a man shouting out of concern. Why would he ask a stranger if they were alright instead of being cautious. Assuming the man is of a virtuous character why would they ask if he was alright instead of approaching normally. Simple possible solutions, this man was virtuous to an insane extent and is overprotective of most if not all people, or the man noticed the fresh trails of blood and the paw trails the wolves left behind to find the young male. This was the desert, the trails from the wolves' footprints were fresh still and someone could have traced him. Izanagi was a paranoid fellow, the fact that Dr. Yuki Tenmei still treads this earth must be kept a secret. If this man knew of the truth and witnessed Izanagi's secretive meeting with his master and enemy then he is a dangerous element. Calming down as he remained silent he remembered that both he and his master never use their names.
In reply to the man's concern the young boy nodded simply as he looked back with his fierce yet dead-like eyes remaining cold as could be. He spoke tot he man before him "Thank you for your concern I am alright-" It was then that more of the pack appeared. Nine wolves surrounded the two. The boy was prepared to fight, but not prepared to die. Not until he made sure the five nations were six feet under. The young boy looked back into the eyes of the wolves eyes fiercer than theirs yet resembling theirs he was a wolf just as they were only much fiercer and much more enraged yet calm as the coldest depths of the ocean. However, his tense gaze at his soon to be victims was anything but calm as it held the hatred in his black heart. He spoke to the man he had just met "You need to leave" He spoke referring to what might the wolves do to him if he stays. Izanagi knew not the man and perhaps the man was good at heart. Someone concerned for the safety of a stranger is much more suitable as a kind than those scum called Kage or Daimyo. Izanagi armed himself in a battling stance prepared to intercept the wolves as his eyes were locked upon them waiting, anticipating, and reading every twitch of theirs.
The young man rushed towards the pack with fierce wrath. Grabbing hold of two wolves by their mouths holding them closed as he jumped slightly while holding their mouths only to step on their necks and pull their heads up from their mouths breaking their necks and killing them. Blood splattered from Izanagi's wounds but his gaze grew fiercer as he approached two more wolves. One would bite his left arm and the other bit his leg he choked the one biting his hand and placed his foot on its neck choking it as he pommeled the other one to death with his bloody fists. The young wolf glared at the rest of the remaining five wolves as he sensed their fear but was aching for more havoc. However, it was then that his master's words reminded him of what he lacked.
“Still nothing but a weakling. You've no decisiveness in your attack, no coordination, and no planning in case your attack is hindered or stopped. You're dismissed till midnight. We resume your training then. Until then, patch your wounds and fight the wolves and wild animals lying around the area.”
Coordination, decisiveness, planning. However, that is not all there is to it. During the child soldiers' training camp he spoke more of this. He spoke more of those three aspects of an attack. Expanded on what is expected and what should be done mentally before attacking physically. His words resurface as Izanagi bleeds more of his life blood. The young man was dizzy but his the words of his enemy and master did not falter within his mind.
"To be decisive is not the lack of hesitation before the kill. To be decisive is to know what you want and what you need and never hesitate to take that which you need. To coordinate the action that which you are about to perform and know the results you require, and regardless of the enemy's reply you must pursue the results you need even if it means altering an already coordinated and planned attack. The preparations do not end once you begin executing the action, on the contrary, preparations begin before, while, and after you execute the required action. To pursue the required regardless of all odds with wit and strength. That is true decisiveness. Also, never forget the four steps regarding executing any plan of action."
Step one: Make the plan.
six more wolves came in with the remaining four completing the pack, ten wolves and Izanagi and his new acquaintance assuming he would join the fight, but Izanagi advised him to stay away or he may get hurt. Focusing on the pack circling him Izanagi would listen to the words of his master and enemy, what was the required result? Survival. The plan of attack, rush to the two in front of him as they rush at him he would anticipate their jumps and crouch as they jump almost past him but he would grab their legs and smash them to the ground with ferocity crushing their bones from the impact. It was that which he aimed to accomplish against two, however if a third wolf rushed at him instead of smashing both to the ground he would smash two together and one to the ground and re-position himself back to the middle, and that was
Step two: Execute the plan
Izanagi rushed at the two wolves took hold of their legs as a third wolf rushed in as expected, he would smack one to the ground and the second one with the third launching them to the side only to notice that a fourth wolf rushed at him from the back with fierce desire to chew the flesh of the young man, however, Izanagi would, for once, listen to what his enemy had taught him. As the wolf rushed at Izanagi from the back he slid his right leg under the wolf resting his right heel on the wolf's abdomen in a fraction of a second to use the still energy in his left foot and flip carrying the wolf in his flip and striking the wolf down with his heel pinned to the wolf's stomach as he landed the wolf on the ground with his right foot, not position himself back to the middle, but remaining where he stood as attempting to go back would open chances for the beasts to attack. Having replied to the surprise element and abandoned his previous plans he had performed the third and fourth steps correctly.
Step three: Expect the plan to go off the rails.
Step four: Throw away the plan.
Make the plan, execute the plan, expect the plan to go off the rails, and finally: Throw away the plan. This is what his enemy taught him, a wild method of doing things, however, he had become the dangerous warlord he is today thanks to those rules of his or so he spoke. Six wolves remain. Izanagi took down eight, four he rushed at with nothing but irrational rage and damaged himself. Four he rushed at with wit and strength and he emerged unharmed as he for once let his mind fight for him rather than his rage.

Zu
D-rank
The person that Zu had called out to gave him quite a shock when he got closer to him. It was not usual that he met someone that seemed to worry about him yet this person told Zu he needed to leave which left Zu a little in shock. Normally it was the other way around in his case. Zu often warned people of being too close to him or around him for too long. Zu, in his heart, does not want to see people get hurt anymore. So he stood his ground and did not move. The feeling of being useless soon swooned over him as this new fellow combated against many more wolves. One by one this person took down the wolves without much thought of why they were attacking him, nor any bit of remorse. From Zu's standpoint it almost seemed like this person rather enjoyed it. Zu would have helped, but his cusiosity got the best of him as he stood there watching this person combat with wolves that were clearly of no match for this person. Once the battle was finished between this man the these wolves, Zu's own curiosity got the best of him. Normally he would have left after the person said they were fine, but Zu felt compelled to stay by some unknown force. Perhaps it was his rage subconscious seeping out and projecting itself without his knowledge. Such a thing was not something Zu wanted, but it was perhaps most of the reason for his next motives. He wanted to know more and study this person in hopes to learn something of importance even if it is something ever so small. It was the idea that this person had the same blood he did that drove him to provoke this person a little. If they indeed did share the same kind of blood, then these mere wolves were of no concern to use transformations to fight. Zu had only really used his transformation a handful of times, and often tried his best to not use them. It was almost like he felt like that power was not his, but instead him borrowing it to accomplish a goal. In Zu's case, the only goal to really go all out was to kill, and he did not want to kill this person at all. In fact, Zu almost hoped that they could become friends or at least ally in arms. Stuffing his hands in his pockets, Zu approached the person again expecting the same similar manner of distance that the person showed earlier. Still, there was not any one else around and it would probably do Zu good to let lose a little. If anything this fellow could easily handle it if Zu should get a little out of hand. If not well, Zu hoped he still was himself enough to flee instantly if need be. Zu spoke out, in a somewhat rude manner, "You fight well against savage and starving beasts. Why not try fighting someone that stands a better chance of fighting back. Someone like me perhaps?"
Zu grinned a little as he watched the man for his response. Deep down Zu wanted to get stronger, and solo training was not getting the job done nearly as well as sparing with another. Though, Zu had not many people to spar with anyways, so why not this fellow. He looked strong enough, and Zu wanted to feel the rush of battle without getting anyone seriously injured. Without a doubt, he would have to retreat if he felt like he might lose his consciousness again. Last thing Zu needed was more blood on his hands and more memories suppressed deep in the confides of his mind. With a somewhat smile, Zu posed the question again, "So what do you say? Care to indulge me in such a spar? Just promise not to hold back okay?"
