>>Resistance~Revolution<< Pt. 1

[Okato Ikamatsu]

((Okay, I see maroon talk is taken... I'll switch to Orange if that's okay))

Caleb watched as Ruby swished through the tree, which was much thicker than the ones he was trying to cut. Whenever she had mentioned the fact about a good sword Caleb looked at his own, "Well, I think this sword is good for me... I just need to learn to use it well." He returned the sword to its sheath, which he had put on his back.
Caleb's stomach reminded him that he hadn't eaten yet. He looked around and spotted some berries in a place a bit away. Whenever the conversation might end, he would probably eat them.

[Scαrιετ]

"May I see your sword, Caleb?" Ruby asked. She gave him a full smile, sincerely. She held out her hand. She then noticed where Caleb was looking. Then her own stomach growled.
"Eh, excuse me...haha, I haven't eaten all day. What do you two think about going over to Ichiraku's? My treat!"

[steeltouch]

Kai made his way through the crowd and was taken by a stomach growl. He was craving more than mere noodles for breakfast and well...he was sure that the Hokage had more important issues than to be bothered for his request to join ANBU. He figured it could wait and for the moment his stomach could not. Ichiraku sounded good right now, and so it became the main objective for today. He shifted directions and started heading off to Ichiraku for a better meal. It was only a short ways from his current location, walking in he could see the afternoon regulars sitting at the tables.

Kai took a seat at the front bar and browsed the menu over quickly and knew what he wanted in a matter of seconds. The cook leaded forward and asked him what he wanted and it was returned with a firm nod. "Yes..I'd like an order of Gyudon, Sashimi, a rice bowl, and Yakitori with a vile of hot sake.", Kai said swiftly. The cook nodded and turned to prepare it right away, Kai in the meantime pulled out the money and set it neatly on the counter in front of him.

Waiting patiently he pondered of things to come, he didnt know why but he felt something eerie amidst. He rested his elbows upon the counter and folded his fingers to rest in front of his face. One could visibly see the various scars around his fingers and knuckles from this position.

[Katsu Katakuzure]

Kenji had hoped they would just shut up, but apparently just staying silent was only making the voices converge. He knew he couldn’t just stay quiet anymore, as the muffled chatter showed little sign of ending. He went over his options in his head, trying to settle on what he should do. He thought about maybe just leaving, but he decided that would take work. After all, he had already set up this spot with his seal and everything, why should he leave? He contemplated just ending them with his Nichi no Owari, obliterating the cause of the sounds, but quickly shut down that idea. He knew what Danzo would do if they managed to get away after he revealed one of his trump cards. He let out a sigh, knowing his only real option was peaceful negotiation. Time to pull out that famous Hiraga charm.

“HEY BRATS! WILL YA SHUT UP?!? THIS IS SOME PEOPLE’S BREAK TIME!” shouted out Kenji angrily. This was indeed the most polite the bitter Jounin could be. Besides, he could only hear their muffled talking, maybe they would need him to shout to hear his voice. Or maybe he was trying to justify being a boy thingy. Either way, he hoped they got the message.

Besides, it wasn’t like they would attack him. After all, they were all from Konoha… in theory at least. If they weren’t, then Kenji wouldn’t hesitate to make quick work of them. He hadn’t had a decent battle in a good, long time.

[Hayate Mochiya]

Kenta thought about what Caleb said about Hayate and Violet. "I wonder..." He walked up to Ruby. "You're Violet's sister right? Her and Hayate went to the Hokage's together. I wonder if it has something to do with his strange chakara..."

"Lady Fifth..." Hayate began... He fumbled about, and made a begging gesture for Violet to start.

[;; HYUUGA KANETSU ?!]

Tsunade was getting more irritated each second without words from either of the other ninja. First, they barge in when the weren't allowed to, and then they weren't even saying anything? She sighed once again.
"Look, if you two don't have anything urgent you need to tell me, then leave. As you can see, I'm very busy right now." Tsunade told them.

[Okato Ikamatsu]

Caleb was delighted to hear the name of his favorite resturant, but only shrugged, "If you want to." He took the sword from its sheath again, "Here's my sword. Not really very special, but I bet I can do something to it. Experiment with my chakra..."

[Scαrιετ]

Ruby took the sword into her hands. She unsheathed it, and held it out.
"It's nicely balanced, but not perfect. I can perfect the balance. A sword should be balanced in such a way that it merely feels like an extension of the arm, without straining. At least one of this size." She explained. She then heard Kenji shouting. She looked his direction. Hearing the rudness in his voice, she shouted back.
"HEY, HOW ABOUT YOU JUST DEAL WITH IT!!! IT'A PUBLIC AREA!!!" She didn't have a problem being rude back. It was just her nature. She could be a pregnant dog if she wanted to.
She looked back at Caleb and Kenta.
"It's time we go anyway. Soon other trainees will be flooding this place." She whispered. She sheathed the sword, "I'll finish with this when we get to somewhere more...friendly. And as for Hayate and Violet...she was telling me something about strange things going on with Hayate. It must be just that. She was in some sort of rush this morning. Muttering things about Hayate."


Violet let out a sigh, and walked up to the desk. She gently placed her hands onto the desk, and shot Hayate a short glare, but that was over in less than a second.
"Lady Hokage. Hayate has a secret. We know it originates from Ikijigoku, like a sort of curse. I believe it's some sort of dark chakra, maybe similar to the kinds of chakra the tailed bests possess. It's interfered with him here and there, and it seems to be growing somewhat more...powerful. I think this is more than just a mere annoyance now, and may be dangerous. Very dangerous." Violet said, maintaining a perfectly calm and relaxed voice and stance, much unlike Hayate. She noticed how nervous he was, and shot him a worried glance. Trying to say things would be okay, as far as dealing with their annoyed Hokage.

[Katsu Katakuzure]

Kenji snarled as he heard the girl shout back at him. To put it simply, he wasn’t in the mood for backtalk. He let his angry stir for a moment, he letting build up so he would be able to word things exactly right when he confronted the noisy children. He looked over at the chakra tiger, still menacingly stalking the area. “This shouldn’t even take me five minutes,” he told it, knowing that even though it wouldn’t respond to words. And with that, he slowly walked towards the source of the noise, his eyebrow furled in rage.

“Listen brats!” he yelled as he walked, almost announcing his arrival, “today has been a long day! Hell, this has been a long week! I don’t give a damn if this is a public place! You children better learn some damn respect and shut your damn mouths!” And with that, Kenji made his way to the clearing, arms crossed, attempting to look menacing.

However, Kenji knew he didn’t look very scary. Sure, he looked mean, bitter, angry even, but menacing? Scary? Nah. He wasn’t very tall, and he sure wasn’t bulky at all. In fact, it wouldn’t be far off to call him scrawny. Some had said he looked more like a Chuunin than a Jounin, and he was sure this would be the case here as well. It wasn’t his fault he looked so weak, but he had accepted it a long time ago. Besides, made it all the more satisfying when defeated opponents.

[steeltouch]

Kai's food was set down in front of him, the steam from each plate..aaah, it all looked so good. He pulled out a pair of metal chopsticks and took a bite of each item, stuffing his mouth and chewing fast yet thoroughly. He only managed to get through half a plate before he heard a voice he could only place as Kenji. Kai nooded to the cook and stood up giving him a glance that implied that he would return to eat his food. Kai turned and walked out of Ichiraku to glance out the door and without fail he spotted Kenji causing a stir.

Kai sighed and lowered his head as if to say he was too tired for all of this so early. With a jolt of speed, Kai leaped up and bounded down to land next to Kenji, his manner of entrance made it seem that he had just appeared out of nowhere. He placed his right hand on Kenji's left shoulder and applied a light squeeze, no enough to hurt him but just enough to let him know that Kai was there. "Aye...thats enough, friend. These people are going about their daily lives just the same as you and I. If you're having a stress build up we can talk...join me in the ramen shop?", Kai asked Kenji with a light smile behind that thin mask.

It was best to neutralize this situation quick before the wrong people become stirred. It was quite obvious that Kenji was in a bad mood, perhaps under some stress. Kai had more than one way to take care of the situation and he had hoped that violence would be the last of his choices.

[Okato Ikamatsu]

While Caleb walked to the noodle shop, which happened to be in the same direction as Kenji was, He threw a kunai in front of his face with not tied on it. Written on it was:

Dear Sir,
It has come to my thoughts that maybe WE aren't the idiots.
It has also come to my concern that YOU need to shut YOUR damn mouth!
Oh yes, and by the way, public means 'Do what you want...'
...Not 'Shut your damn mouth up'
From your new-found enemy,
Caleb

Caleb walked slightly faster and didn't bother taking his sword back from Ruby. Besides, he thought she was going to work on it pretty soon.

[Hayate Mochiya]

Kenta hung back from Caleb and Ruby. He wasn't hungry. Besides, if there was one thing he hated more than losing, it was brats. He followed the jounin. If there was a way to make a fool of this guy, he would find it.

[;; HYUUGA KANETSU ?!]

Tsunade's thoughts momentarily stopped at what words had come out of Violet's mouth. What she had just heard had changed everything. Her mind may have stopped for a mere second, but it picked up quickly. So I was right... She thought with the irritated look still on her face. There wasn't as much irritation in her look as there was before. Now, it had some frustration, a bit of nervousness, and a sudden sense of urgency. Ikijigoku, you... And her mind went off shortly in search of a proper word for what she wanted to call him. But, she hated him so much, she couldn't even find the worst words to be fitting for him. She immediately calmed herself down afterward.
It was serious now, even more so than before. Tsunade knew she had to act, and she had to act fast. She already had people in mind, who were essential to her current plan. Without a moment's wait, she started to put her plan in motion.
"Shizune!" Tsunade hollered, momentarily ignoring the fact that Violet and Hayate were there.
"Yes Lady Tsunade?" The Hokage's assistant had nearly ran over to her.
"Have messengers send commands for the following ninja to come to my office. It's an emergency, so hurry!" She told her, handing her a complied list with some shinobi's names on it.
"Yes!" She responded as she almost completely bolted out the door.
The Hokage then looked back at the two younger shinobi.
"You two are to stay inside the village. You will not receive any missions or anything of the sort until further notice. This is active immediately!"

[Hayate Mochiya]

"Now wait." Hayate spoke up now. "This is my problem. There's no reason to detain Violet. She's got nothing to do with this other than convincing me to come here." His teeth barred in what, almost, seemed like a snarl. But a snarl? To the Hokage of all things... His eyes glared directly at the "Legendary Sucker" (=3). "Don't force her to stay just because I'm a problem."

[Scαrιετ]

Kakashi stood up and backed away from the memorial.
"Kanetsu?" He looked around, giving her the signal he was ready. He didn't quite know which tree she was in. He had never paid any attention, since his focus was always on contemplating here at the memorial. He walked away from the memorial, heading the same direction out he always took. He knew Kanetsu would surely catch up. She always did.



"Ahem, who are you calling a child?" Ruby said boldly. Being a member of ANBU, nothing was menacing to her. She almost laughed at Kenji's wanna-be-menacing appearance, but she didn't. She had enough class not to do so. She held her glare with Kenji's, not really maintaining any menacing look herself.
"I don't give a damn if it's been a long week, because I've had mine too. Shut your mouth and maybe I'll consider shutting ours. Is that a deal?" Ruby was becoming ticked off at the jounin's arrogance. It was one thing to ask for peace. But it was another to demand it. Ruby never gave in to demands.
At the sudden appearance of Kai, Ruby exchanged a glance of curiosity with him. He appeared to have good intentions, under that mask of his. She shrugged, thinking that it wasn't worth the energy to argue any further. She turned and walked beside Caleb, though half leading the way. She had seen the note that he had shot at Kenji.
"Caleb, that wasn't smart at all." She whispered in a sort of matter-of-fact way.



"Hayate...calm down," Violet whispered, placing a hand on his shoulder, "Details first. Why do you want me to stay? And now what's going on? Other ninja?" She said calmly, but loud enough to be heard. There wasn't any demand in her voice, but there was concern. Of course Violet wanted details. But she wouldn't argue if the Hokage didn't tell her. As the clan leader, she knew better to hold respect for the ones of higher rank; in this case, the Hokage. She looked at Hayate, wondering what his next move would be after that sort of snarl.
