Silent. He was a hunter. He remained on his perch in a large oak at the edge of a road that wound through one of the many forests surrounding Konohagakure. It was early morning, just early enough to see the sun hung loosely above the horizon, lazy in starting the day. The birds chirped happily. It was just beginning to be time for them to be pushing their young out of their nests to learn to fly on their own. Though he was unsure why, that thought maintained some significance in his mind. He was subject only to his thoughts in these moments.

He wore a pair of black sandals that were mostly featureless, just like most other Konohagakure Shinobi. He wore a baggy pair of featureless, cloth pants, of which he had countless pairs since he had to replace them so often after the use of his Shikotsumyaku. On Roku’s torso was the top half to a white robe. It opened at the chest, exposing his bare flesh, and he wore no undershirt. It was an unneeded commodity, as he needed to minimize the time it took him to shed the robe so that it would not hinder his Kekkei Genkai in a combat situation. On the left shoulder of this robe was sewn the Konohagakure forehead protector plate, and in an inside pocket lied the blood sample he had gotten from Soul.

A scuffle, the shift of a leaf. He didn’t hesitate. The Genin dove from the tree in which he was perched, about fifteen meters high, and extended a Shikotsumyaku bone from his right palm. In an instant, this bone spike found itself embedded into the heart of a beautiful brown rabbit. He ritualistically spoke to the rabbit; “Thank you. You will go to good use, and your death will not be wasted.” He was a hunter – not a killer. Standing, Roku slid the bone spike out of the rabbit’s body and allowed it to retreat back within himself. He watched as he did so and realized he had opened an extremely large gash on his right forearm. He’d be fine if he were in the village, but being this far from it, blood loss could pose a threat. His throat tightened as he stood in the middle of the road.

An adventure awaits any of those willing to travel outside the borders of what they consider home. Walking through foreign lands wasn't something too common for a medic. However, Soran had been sent on a mission to deliver a particular herb to Kirigakure. This particular plant is used by the doctors in the Land of Water to treat muscle spasms caused by multiple sclerosis, nausea, poor appetite caused by chronic illness, seizure disorders, depression, and many more.

While traveling through the forest of Konoha, the medic was wearing his casual clothes for the journey. This consisted of a plain black t-shirt, white baggy pants, and dark blue sneakers. The Kirigakure headband was tied over the white haired shinobi's forehead. Walking around the forest, he noticed a slender teenager with an extremely large gash on his right forearm.

Without uttering a single word, the medic rushed over to help by forming two swift hand seals. White chakra formed into the shinobi's palms as he placed them over the afflicted area. In a matter of seconds, the wound was completely healed. The grey eyes of the ninja scanned the younger ninja. He had white hair as well and on the left shoulder of this robe was sewn the Konohagakure forehead protector plate. This was probably a Genin that the healer just aided.

"Does it still hurt?" The medical shinobi asked the younger Genin after the wound completely healed.

An individual with the same sort of white hair as Roku approached the young Genin. The man seemed strong, confident in approaching the young Genin despite the obvious fact that he was a Konohagakure Shinobi, his metal forehead protector glinting on his shoulder. Additionally, the man’s own Kirigakure headband was mounted prominently on his forehead. While at first Roku was going to run, he stood still for some reason, perhaps because the man seemed nice and concerned as he ran over, eyes on Roku’s wound, or perhaps the young boy was just being stupid. Both were a possibility to young Roku.

Before he had a chance to protest, the other man seized Roku’s arm – not forcefully, mind – and healed it in a matter of seconds. The boy stood, watching and amazed as the gash in his arm closed up so quickly; and without a scar. Underneath the blood that had already been drawn, his arm was perfectly smooth, the wound completely gone. The man spoke, and Roku answered his question automatically, “No, it doesn’t hurt… it’s… completely gone! How did you do that?” Whether it still hurt or not, the boy would have replied that it didn’t. He didn’t like admitting to weakness. However, in this particular case, it was true.

Then a thought occurred to the boy. His left hand moved to his inside breast pocket where it stayed. He remained silent for a moment, considering the possibility that this person could be the person he needed to transfuse Soul’s blood into his own, allowing for the possibility that Roku could have two Kekkei Genkai. He stared at the man, almost in a disturbing man, pondering his trustworthiness. However, Roku’s conclusion was that it didn’t matter if he could trust this man, as this man was his only shot in getting this done. And so he spoke again.

“Er… sir, my name is Roku Kaguya. I happened upon a tale that with proper medical training, one could transfuse blood into another and bestow the Kekkei Genkai of the transfused blood upon them. I feel strange asking this of a stranger, but is there any possibility you could attempt this? I don’t even know if it’s possible, but… it’s worth a shot.” With that, Roku withdrew the clear container from his breast pocket and showed it to the man, the blood of Soul sloshing inside it.

After successfully applying the medical jutsu on the teen, the doctor waited for a response on the status of his patient. To his enjoyment, the young Genin stated that the pain was gone. In amazement, the young boy asked how this was done. While in the medical ninja academy in Kirigakure, Soran was taught that knowledge of the art should be passed down whenever given the opportunity.

"That was an A-Rank Medical Ninjutsu known as the Mystical Palm Technique." the doctor explained with a smile. It was almost as if he was teaching a student at the academy. "It usually uses a lot of chakra. But I have mastered the art of medicine to only feel half the fatigue. Glad to know you're feeling better, kid."

The Genin suddenly reached into his breast pocket and began to speak. A shocking revelation came about whenever the teenage boy introduced himself. Roku... Kaguya? Could it be true that this boy was kin to the medic? The shinobi had never met another of his clan before, let alone one so young. Could this mean that his clan still possessed survivors? Perhaps this is why the two shared the same hair color. However, Soran possessed white hair that was adorned by black streaks. Regardless of this slight difference, instant excitement built within the Jounin as he continued listening to what the Genin had to say.

More surprises struck the medic as Roku brought up the possibility of transfusing blood into another person in hopes of gaining the donor's Kekkei Genkai. The Jounin had learned about this during his time in the Kirigakure medical academy. But the medic had never actually attempted such a thing. Perhaps he could take on this new task if the opportunity arises. As the shinobi pondered this, the Genin known as Roku pulled out a container possessing blood.

"I don't know how you got this and I don't want to." Soran stated plainly as he grabbed the container from the younger Kaguya. This child would be a test subject to see if such an operation could become successful on somebody sharing similar DNA to the doctor. "If you truly want this blood inside your body, I won't object to testing it out on one of my own. Just don't expect instant results. Your body will have to adjust once the procedure is complete."

Pulling out the small scroll in his pocket, the shinobi unsealed a small container about the size of an average flask. Pouring some of the blood into his own container, the medic sealed it back into the scroll. After nearly an hour of injecting the remaining blood into the Genin, the procedure was complete. This was Soran's first time performing a DNA transplant, so it took him awhile to figure everything out. But the operation was a complete success!

"There we go, all finished. The blood seems to have successfully morphed into a genetic match for you. But as I said before, you will have to train your body to adapt to these changes. I don't know what blood you had me place in your body, but we both helped each other today. I learned how to perform a transplant of genetic coding and you might get some new powers."

The young Genin followed closely to the man’s words. “That’s cool… it’s similar to my practice in Ninjutsu and Taijutsu, except I haven’t quite master those to the level that they are only half as taxing… you must be a very experienced Shinobi! Can I ask your name?” The boy did indeed think it was rather cool that the other man could heal wounds so easily and with such little effort. If Roku himself could do that mid-combat, he’d be a much more powerful threat. He’d be dangerous. But he’d be an asset to his village as well. The two sides of him tore in this instance; the side that he had always possessed, the side that wanted to avoid violence and keep peace, and the side that the Nine-Tailed Fox created; the side in pain.

When the man spoke about the blood Roku presented to him, he began to protest that he didn’t hurt anyone and there was no reason to fear that he did, but he remained quiet as he watched, transfixed, what the other white-haired individual began to do. He listened quietly as the man spoke. He nodded when the other said he’d do what Roku requested and he didn’t object when he took some of the blood for his own – it was to be expected.

He watched the man inject the blood presented to him by Roku into the latter’s system and remained quiet as he worked. When the man spoke that the surgery was a success, Roku finally replied, “That’s awesome! So I should be able to utilize this Kekkei Genkai if I successfully train my body, right? At least that’s what it seemed like you said…” He pondered what he could do with such a power. The power to protect and to kill. It was an awesome might that he had just gained, and he wasn’t sure whether he knew exactly what to do with it.

He could seek revenge or he could protect his village.

Bambo was out of Sunagakure, he was actually on an errand Mr Sato sent him. This was the very man his father worked for, the one who owned the restaurant and had payed for Bambo's father's services which had been sustaining them for a while.
Mr Sato, a man with a lot of connections was trying to secure a contract with a famous business man in Konohagakure, and he delivered that letter to Bambo's father, who entrusted Bambo with delivering the letter, of course , Bambo had delivered it and was preparing for his exit, but he would enjoy Konohagakure for a while, just a little.
Two days before the day they were, Bambo had taken a bag full of stuffs he needed, he was going to stay for a while there, 3 days maximum, what Bambo knew was that he would be going home the next day, with a white shirt tucked in to his black pants, similar to the way children tuck in their shirts when going to school.
Bambo had his shirt to be white, his shrt tucked in black pants that reached below his ankles, while he finished the look with his forehead protector and black sandals.
Bambo held the pant firmly to his waist with a belt, strapping his scroll to a chain that came out from one part of his trouser and ending at the other side.
Bambo strapped his ninja pouch bag to his lower middle back, it was better for him to be armed, he was new to the village and didn't know about the dangers the country side had.
Bambo would walk towards a company of shinobi, they were two, both were white-haired, this would make Bambo remember one of his father's words, that the Kaguya were composed of mainly black and white haired shinobi, maybe these two were Kaguyas, Bambo would say, but that thought would slowly dissapitate in his mind, he had missed a lot of the fun, he missed the part of the transplant, but he heard the younger shinobi asking of the name of the latter.
Bambo decided to turn, but he eventually kept walking on, having a little interaction wouldn't be bad, if things went well, he may even get into a little spar with the Konohagakure shinobi, who had his forehead protector.
Incase none of them noticed him, he would simply stomp his foot on the floor, but that would be after The elder Kaguya talked, Bambo was quite interested in knowing the man's name, though Bambo wasn't aware that he came from the same clan as him.

The Genin spoke of how he was a practitioner of Taijutsu and Ninjutsu. Both common abilities taught in ninja academies around the world. Perhaps this leaf shinobi would possess the same Taijutsu abilities that Soran did. Curious of the identity of his doctor, the young Kaguya asked the medic his name.

“I am known as Nanashi of the Mist.” The Jounin responded. The shinobi did not feel that giving his real name to somebody he had just operated on in a foreign country was such a good idea. Especially since everybody in Kirigakure knew him by his official name. This way things would be left ambiguous between the two.

Roku inquired if he would be able to utilize the Kekkei Genkai within the mystery blood if he successfully trained his body. To this, Soran would give a direct response.

“I am not entirely sure what I just shot into your bloodstream. But if there were any abilities hidden within the genetic coding, your body should adapt appropriately. It all depends on the limits you set for yourself and how far you are willing to go in order to overcome them.”

There was a sudden stomp on the ground, to which the Jounin responded by quickly jumping onto a tree branch away from the Genin he was just speaking to. There was a younger olive skinned kid with black hair who had appeared to be watching the two. Soran would remain silent in the tree and observe what would happen next.

A stomp. Instinct. That man who introduced himself as Nanashi retreated to some trees and Roku put some distance between himself and the newcomer as well. He sprung backward, putting about 20 meters of distance between the new arrival and himself. He studied the individual carefully. The boy did not seem to hold any harm for Roku, but the Nine-Tailed Fox taught him that he was never safe… so he did not kid himself to think that he was. There was an extremely powerful Shinobi in the trees near him and an unidentified one in front of him.

Roku still stood in the middle of the road and kept his eyes on the other boy, who stood in the road too. He had to keep clear visual on him. Were he to allow the boy to escape his sight, there could be serious consequences. So Roku kept a trained eye on him at all times. He lowered his body into a stance and prepared himself. He wouldn’t be so defensive were it not for the actions that had just taken place in getting this surgery done, and the fact that the other individual had snuck up on the two; it even seemed that Nanashi hadn’t noticed him, as he sprang away at the exact moment Roku did.

But he wouldn’t strike immediately. He spoke instead, always giving the benefit of the doubt. “Who are you? Why were you watching us?” Depending on his answer, Roku may or may not strike. He also weighed his actions heavily on what Nanashi may do from the trees. He had no idea who that man was or what he was capable of either. But he did not dare look away from the newcomer, as he had already proven himself capable of going undetected. This would be interesting indeed.

Bambo would hear the older of the trio speak, he introduced himself as Nanashi of the mist, that implied that he was from the village hidden in the mist, there was little to no village Bambo hadn't known, his tutelage under his father had taught him a lot of things.
Just after the man said those words, Bambo would see that both men still didn't notice him, even the eldest, So Bambo stomped his foot hard on the ground, the resulting thud resonating loudly in the air.
In a jiffy, both shinobis would spring backwards, the eldest to a nearby tree, while the other one, would only jump backwards, the jump essentially made the distance between both young shinobis to be 20m.
Bambo noticed that things got really tense, he didn't believe it, is this how people get into fights? What had he done wrong to create this much tension? He thought.
Bambo would eye them both, but he would look at the younger one, who was seriously eyeing him. A smile crept in, as Bambo would say.
Hehe he scoffed with an even more obvious smile, What have I done to cause this much tension, hehe, I'm just exploring, I haven't really watched you, I only began to notice you when you(pointing at the younger shinobi) began to ask him name. I'm in the village hidden in the leaves to deliver something, I'm done with delivering the package and I thought of enjoying the country side, I mean no harm, My name is Bambo Baknu by the way, Bambo of the sand village Bambo said, ending his words with a smile

After the newcomer who introduced himself as Bambo spoke, Roku relaxed a bit. He still found himself on guard because of how relaxed the other individual seemed to be in the presence of two Shinobi from a separate village than his own, but he wasn’t ready to strike. At least not yet. It wasn’t often that someone could sneak up on Roku. In fact, it was quite rare, as the boy was an experienced hunter and found that one of his largest strengths was his ability to remain completely aware of his surroundings at all times. But, apparently, in this moment, that particular aspect of him did not hold true.

He spoke to Bambo at this point, more inquisitive and curious now than he was wary and cautious. “Do you wish to pass?” Roku would have no problem with letting Bambo through; it wasn’t his place to hold security, and even if it was, all Genin of Konohagakure were instructed to run if they found themselves in a confrontation. Roku knew this, but he somehow knew that he wouldn’t be able to force himself to run… not when the individual still had the chance of happening upon an unwitting victim.

The young Kaguya stood up straighter. He offered a smile, though, behind it was still an expression of danger. He was offered no solace in the fact that Bambo hadn’t attacked, but there was no reason to believe that the man was an enemy yet. Roku knew of no conflicts that Konohagakure had with any other villages. He paused a moment to think to himself and consider the possibility that he should have been this cautious with Nanashi, but it was hard considering his first action was to heal a wound that could pose a serious threat to Roku. He shook the thoughts from his mind and focuses on Bambo, wondering what his words and actions would be.

Words: 318

Bambo immediately after speaking, with a smile, would hear the younger Kaguya speak once more, this time, the younger Kaguya would speak, getting more inquisitive, Bambo could say that this is where the conversation would end, Bambo wasn't too good with questions, but nevertheless, he would answer with all sincerity.
Just as the boy spoke, Bambo would "hmm?" To himself, like his body could reply him, of course he heard what he said, he just wanted the boy repeat it, but even Bambo knew that he muttered the "hmm" to himself, so waiting for a reply would not be something better, since it would be awkward for him to be asked questions without being able to answer in front of a duo from different villages.
Bambo would open his mouth slightly, then his voice would come out, Well, I've been walking for a while now, I haven't really encountered anyone on the way except you two, I don't want my adventure to come to a waste, so if you don't mind, I can probably stay here with you guys to have a nice time. Bambo said.
Of course, Bambo knew that the company may not let him be among their midst, he wouldn't shy himself from saying the question, even if they don't, he'll still ask them.
Just after Bambo finished those words, his eyes battered, the morning breeze would blow the lower and slightly baggy part of his trouser below his ankles.

Roku listened to Bambo’s response intently, and, at this point, he was almost relaxed. He wouldn’t mind if Bambo were to stay with he and Nanashi; he actually found it to be a rather good thing. Roku had not spent much time with Shinobi outside Konohagakure in quite a while, and he was beginning to become slightly annoyed by dealing with people from the same area all the time; it got to be quite boring for someone who had seen such diverse lands and such strange things. Though he didn’t let his guard down yet.

Then, a possibility entered the young boy’s mind. The other boy seemed to be about Roku’s age, which meant that he was most likely a Genin as well as Roku. It had been a long time since Roku had fought anyone, and this person, being a stranger to the young Genin, could be just the person that Roku needed to keep him on his toes. While the possibility of a spar rolled inside the mind of the young Kaguya, he wondered for just a moment how many fights the more experienced Jounin had been in, and how many people said Jounin had killed. The thought terrified him.

Straightening up, Roku spoke, but he no longer spoke in his dangerous, wary voice. This voice was quite cheery, and it wasn’t a voice that escaped the boy’s lips too often. “Let us spar. I could use the training, and I’m sure you could too. I’ve never sparred someone I didn’t know, and this could pose quite an interesting challenge to me.” Roku didn’t know what Bambo’s response would be, but he definitely hoped it would indeed be that he wanted to spar as well. The air of danger all but completely vanished from the boy’s face, replaced almost entirely by an eager expression similar to that of a child getting his hands on a new toy. He wished for a moment that he could use Jiton in this fight, but deemed it impossible to learn it so quickly.

Words: 341

Bambo could notice the tension abate, the atmosphere was starting to get cool, the young Kaguya(though Bambo doesn't know he is another Kaguya) had begun to feel relaxed around him more and more, "finally" Bambo thought to himself, he would sit down with his two legs crossed, only to hear the younf shinobi say something.
He would listen to his words, [color=red]A spar you say[/color?] Bambo asked, closing his eyes and then flicking them open almost instateniously, I'm fine with a spar, we share a lot of things, I've never sparred anyone except my father In my whole life, maybe we can use this to test our skills, how strong we have become was all Bambo could say, he would squeeze his right hand for a punch, and he would send it towards his left hand's palm, Bambo would look at the young Shinobi once more, So, who starts? Bambo asked, having a little grin on his face, he couldn't believe that he would be fighting another Kaguya, though he was yet to know that the boy before him was one, that even the jounin was one.
Just then, Bambo would remember something, something his father told him, that if he wanted to spar with someone, and that he wasn't willing to kill them, he should make the unison seal.
And so bambo made the unison seal, with his left hand, not making sure that his eyes left the young shinobi. Then Bambo would extend his hands to the back of his head, removing his spinal column, immediately it tasted the air around him, Bambo would instantly jump up with the elastic spinal column and jump on a nearby tree. Grinning, as always, Bambo didn't know that his action of pulling out his spinal column might lead the other to wonder if he is another Kaguya, but he didn't care, it was his first spar, though he wasn't willing on killing him, he would try his best

Dance of the clematis:Vine

Think. Analysis. The first lesson taught to Roku by his parents; analyze the combat area. He stood on a dirt path maybe five meters wide. There was about a meter and a half of grass on each side of the path before the tree-line began. Past the tree-line was miles upon miles of forestry that seemed more like it was placed through the use of a grid than grown naturally because of the lack of undergrowth and the fact that no two trees really grew more closely together than a meter and a half, and none further apart than five meters.

Immediately, Roku’s adversary jumped another eight or so meters away, making the distance between the two about twenty-eight meters. Bambo made it known early that he was of the Kaguya Clan. Roku himself being of the Kaguya Clan, and his mother being a master of the Shikotsumyaku, Roku had seen the Dance of the Clematis: Vine before. And it was dangerous. It was a very versatile weapon that could be used in more ways than could be easily counted, and Roku had seen many of these ways. He also knew it was a very high level Taijutsu technique that even he was not yet capable of mastering, speaking to Bambo’s superiority over Roku in Taijutsu, which meant that it was possible he was also much faster than Roku.

But he had to play it. He would not yet reveal that he was of the Kaguya Clan. So when his opponent removed his spine before increasing the distance between the two boys, Roku displayed an extremely convincing expression of disgust and disbelief. Lying was survival for the boy nowadays. Ever since his home was destroyed, he’d had to lie to be able to do anything at all. And he did it effectively. When one’s survival and functionality in society relied on their ability to do something, they tended to be very good at it. And, since, for now, Roku didn’t need to utilize his Kaguya Clan Kekkei Genkai, he did not educate his opponent of its existence.

The boy spoke in response to Bambo’s question; “You can start first. I challenged you, and it’s common spar etiquette.” The boy’s eyes never left those of Bambo, and he analyzed every single thing done by the boy. He kept his weight on the heels of his feet, ready to react at any moment should the need arise. His eyes narrowed, and the smile erased itself from his face to be replaced with a serious smirk. This was serious. And he couldn’t mess it up.

Well then, I will start the match. Those were the first words that came out of Bambo's mouth, the breeze would blow as several of the uncountable leaves that had been cast out of their branches would glide left in the air, during that process, little of Bambo's hair also followed the motion, Bambo who was 25m away from his opponent would jump and cover a distance of 8 metres in one swift jump, which would put the distance between the two to be 17m, Bambo wanted to use the environment to his advantage at the moment, he didn't just remove his spinal column for nothing, he was going to use the elastic property of the spine to do something tricky.
Immediately Bambo landed on another branch of what one would call a tall tree, 20m above ground level, Bambo who held the spinal column he removed from himself, where there was no evidence really that he removed it since the area damaged had healed and not a single scar was seen around that area, in Bambo's left hand was the spinal column, he would raise his hands us instantly and make a sweeping motion with all the strength he could muster, which would make the sweeping motion be swift and it would also make the spinal column's elastic property to be invoked as the spinal column would stretch and expand till it reached a distance of 10m beside the young shinobi that stood before him, the whip-like and elastic spine would expand to a length that would make it 10m east of the shinobi before him, which was Bambo's left, the spinal column would destroy two trees in the process as it would instantly swipe towards the young shinobi before Bambo at a high speed due to the strength Bambo used in making the sweeping motion, after a second or two, the trees(2) that the spinal column came into contact with during the process would descend towards the direction of the Kaguya just after Bambo would whip the spinal column towards the Kaguya, the reaction of the Kaguya would depend on the way Bambo would attack next, But Bambo was willing to analyze him and find an opening for him to strike

WC:386

[OOC: Uhhhh... how are you swinging your spinal column through trees?]

[OOC:More like slashing at the trees, and the spinal colunm'll break the part of the trees it came into contact with.
I hope that is allright]

[OOC: That just doesn't seem plausible to me. It doesn't make sense that with your 22 strength, you can swing the Vine through two trees. Trees are extremely durable.]

Roku wrote:: They cut and deal damage

I have 22strength, and21durability, that totals to 43, according to the Kaguya clan that was remade by you.
I thought my durability+strength equaled to 46+, but I guess I didn't check well.
I can probably remove that part away or maybe I should edit that I just whipped it at you, sorry for the inconvenience]

While in the tree branch, Nanashi observed the two as Roku demanded to know the identity of the olive skinned Genin and why he was watching the two. The white haired shinobi had come to the village only to deliver some medicine. But now he was watching an altercation arise between Roku and another Genin who addressed himself as Bambo of the sand village. It was odd to see a Genin traveling alone, but either way it was something he wanted to watch.

The two spoke of a spar and it would likely be something worth waiting around for. Perhaps new abilities would arise from the Genin he had just performed a blood transfusion on. Bambo jumped into a nearby tree branch and removed his own spinal column. Unbelievable! Another Kaguya? What were the odds of this happening? This was too surreal.

Unfortunately, he could not stay and watch the entire altercation. Soran had a job to do and needed to get it finished. Without wanting to be rude, the ninja would try out a new technique he had been working on. Leaving behind an image of himself, the swift shinobi left the area while the two were distracted. The afterimage would fade away in a matter of seconds, long enough for him to escape without being noticed.

Upon exiting, the older Kaguya neared the village, but was stopped by a lone rogue shinobi. Upon seeing the Kirigakure headband, the stranger began questioning the medic. Nanashi attempted to explain himself to the ninja before realizing the slash made through the man’s headband. It was clear that he was a Missing Ninja from Konoha and there would likely be no conflict with the village itself if the mist ninja were to kill this man.

A fight broke out between the two while the two other Genin were still combatting each other. Using his superior strength and speed, the Jounin was able to quickly subdue the man without even using his own bone techniques. An immense amount of chakra was kneaded inside the Kaguya’s body as he prepared for the final blow. In only a moment later, all of the chakra is concentrated into his fist as he fractured the rogue’s skull with a powerful punch to the forehead. The shockwave was so powerful that the impact was only amplified by the vibrations sent through the metal forehead protector.

After the quick encounter had been resolved, now there was the issue of how to dispose of the body. With the skull fracture ceasing all brain activity, the heartbeat soon faded away as well. Remembering a forbidden technique the doctor had read about, this would be the perfect opportunity to give it a shot. Placing his palm on the man’s chest, the medic infused his own chakra into the corpse to cause the rogue’s heart to beat once more.

The dead body raised up from the ground and the white haired medic decided to see what all he could make the corpse do. It was able to be manipulated by the Kaguya’s chakra to perform nearly any task. The Taijutsu master caused the corpse to perform attack combos on a tree before breaking out into dance. After having his fun, the mist shinobi forced the body to run as far away as possible from the medic. After traveling fifty meters away from the grey eyed Jounin, the body fell over into bushes as the connection was severed. By learning to raise the dead back to life, Soran had just become a necromancer!

This certainly was an exciting day for the shinobi. Going to complete his original task, the medic traveled to the Konoha hospital and finally delivered the product he had brought all the way from Kirigakure. It was buds of cannabis stuffed into a blue pill bottle with the Land of Water kanji inscribed on it.

The Jounin then traveled back to Kirigakure after leaving the hospital. With his supply delivered successfully, he could finally get back to his home island in the mist. The shinobi would not forget the things he had learned this day and the identity of the other Kaguya he had encountered…

[OOC: Don’t worry about fixing it this time around, but for future reference, you ain’t that good yet IC lol]

Roku had fought the Dance of the Clematis: Vine before. His mother was a master of the Kaguya Kekkei Genkai, and she was the one who directed all of the boy’s early training. She never taught Roku how to find the weakness in the Vine, considering that anti-productive, but instead taught him to find the weakness in all jutsu, as figuring something out himself led to understanding, but being told to simply accept something as fast was a way to make sure he never learned anything.

Even though Roku did not want to be a ninja at this time, and actually refused to be, he still hated displeasing either of his parents, and both of them wanted him to become a powerful Shinobi one day, so he still gave it his all during all the training he did with them. He remembered sadly the time when he dreaded the mornings, when he’d have to train, and now he dreaded the nights, where he closed his eyes and from the darkness arose an image of his family. He still wondered weakly whether his mother or brother were still out there somewhere…

But this wasn’t the time for that. Now was a time for action. Now was a time to prove himself and see just how far he’d come. He had to have full focus. Roku watched the boy move to another tree, closer to him. That was okay. He’d let Bambo do all the tree-hopping he wanted until it posed a threat to him. However, he did lower himself into a stance. He knew the Vine could attack from impossible ranges, and he had to be ready for whatever his opponent threw at him.

Then he swung. Though it was at first swung toward trees, Roku did not dare wait until the Vine was making its way toward him. As soon as he saw the movement, he dashed backward, into the woods behind him, on the other side from Bambo, avoiding both the swing of the vine and the falling trees. The falling trees simply suited his movement as they fell where Roku was seconds before, probably obscuring his opponent’s vision so that he had no way of telling exactly where he was.

He ran about forty meters into the woods, keeping his eyes in the direction of Bambo. After forty meters, if his opponent wasn’t pursuing him closely, he’d stop and turn around, back toward his original position, and find his bearings and the location of his opponent. If his opponent was close behind him, he’d keep moving and follow another sequence of actions that he had planned out in his mind. Running through the woods, the trees were very close together, so he had to avoid trees and did not have the ability to run at full speed. And Roku’s guess was that, since his opponent was from Sunagakure, a desert, he did not have the same amount of experience Roku had in the forests after having lived in them for months. This terrain would level the playing field in terms of speed.

The young Kaguya before Bambo had jumped backwards to evade Bambo's attack, to Bambo, that was just a test of speed, seeing as the shinobi had jumped backwards and escaped the vine, Bambo woul be pleased. A worrthy opponent was all that would proceed out of his mouth.
The young Kaguya would run backwards, immediately Bambo saw that he would decide to follow him and just chase him head on, but the large vine he had would prevent him from running at full speed, so he swiftly unstrapped his scroll and unrolled it in an instant, not wanting to lose the shinobi, placing the vine on the middle of a seal and performing a handseal, which made the vine disappear in a puff. Bambo hoped that his opponent hadn't gone far, he strapped the scroll back to his belt and sprang up deciding to run until he visualised everything when he wanted to jump downwards
He didn't see a lot of trees in Sunagakure, infact, he had never seen one except they were being grown in the hospital, where it was common to see herbs and different plant species in the desert village.
Bambo rethought what he was about to do, just run after him like that?. If Bambo's father had thought him the a lot about shinobiism, one of it was not to engage an opponent recklessly and fall in a trap, it was making sense to Bambo, the konohagakure genin knew what he was doing, he probably ran backwards at will in the direction he chose to probably make Bambo follow him if possible so that he might lay a trap for him or something. At least, Bambo thought the young shinobi was born there, this is not true however, but he deduced that since he was a citizen of the village, he probably knew how to use the trees to his advantage and how to discern the checkpoints one were to meet a trap
In a moment, Bambo, instead of running after the genin, would instead jump and hop as much as he could to the apex of the tallest trees, of course, he wasn't running on the ground, but something could not be changed, he was still following the young shinobi, the only difference was that he had more altitude.
Bambo would see himself on the highest point of the tall trees, though he got down a few meters for some trees just to have a safe landing, because the top of some was just too narrow and it could wound him should he hop on them.
Bambo who jumped to the tallest trees would easily locate the young shinobi through his vantage point, though he was several meters away from him, Bambo would hop and jump, the leaves obscured his vision for a while in the process, but it didn't matter, as long as his eyes were on the opponent.
Bambo would follow his opponent, at the top of a tallest trees in his way, this meant that he had to deviate left and right a little to maintain his height because the tall trees weren't in one line. He would arrive seconds late before his opponent, watching closely from his vantage point, waiting for the young shinobi to strike since he had his eyes on Bambo when he was running
